ABSCESS

An abscess is a localized collection of pus caused by infection, usually appearing as a painful, swollen lump under the skin. Timely treatment helps prevent the infection from spreading further.

Description

Abscesses develop when the body tries to fight off an infection, trapping bacteria, white blood cells, and dead tissue within a confined space. They can occur anywhere in the body but are most commonly found on the skin, underarms, groin, or around the anus. Symptoms often include redness, warmth, pain, and swelling in the affected area.

If left untreated, an abscess can enlarge or burst, spreading infection to surrounding tissues or even into the bloodstream. Treatment typically involves draining the pus through a small incision (called Incision and Drainage or I&D). Antibiotics may be prescribed to control or prevent the spread of infection depending on the size, severity, and location.
