An abscess is a painful collection of pus, usually caused by a bacterial infection. Abscesses can develop anywhere in the body. This article focuses on two types of abscess: skin abscesses ? which develop under the skin. When an area in the body becomes infected, the body's immune system sends white blood cells to fight the infection. These cells collect and combine with the damaged tissue and germs, creating liquid called pus. An abscess is characterised by a painful, swollen lump that's filled with pus. Treatments include draining the abscess and antibiotic.
