An abscess is a painful, pus-filled lump that can develop on any part of your body. It is typically caused by a bacterial infection, where the body's immune system sends white blood cells to the infected area, leading to the accumulation of pus. Abscesses can occur in various locations, such as the skin, mouth, or deeper tissues and organs.
When an abscess forms, it can cause significant discomfort and disrupt your daily activities.
If you suspect you have an abscess, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly.
Abscess drainage is a common procedure performed to relieve pain and prevent the spread of infection. During this procedure, a healthcare professional makes a small incision in the abscess to allow the pus to drain out. This helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing. In some cases, a drainage tube may be inserted to keep the area open and ensure complete drainage.
