What is an Abscess:
An abscess is a local accumulation of pus. Pus is a thick fluid that usually contains white blood cells, dead tissue and bacteria (germs). It can occur almost anywhere on or in the body, but it most frequently occurs on the skin and on the gums of the mouth. Abscesses can be very tender and painful and are marked by inflammation, swelling, heat, redness, and often fever.

An abscess occurs when the body tries to fight an infection
within the tissues of the body, sending white blood cells to fight further
infection. The blood cells collect around the site of infection, accumulating to
form pus. Abscesses frequently form on the skin, the most commonly known type is
a boil. Inside the body, abscesses can be much more serious, causing damage to
tissues and organs.
Abscess Symptoms:
The symptoms of an abscess depend on where it develops in your body.

Abscess Causes:
Abscesses may be caused by many different bacteria, fungi, or protozoans, which are kinds of disease causing microbes. Abscesses result from infections that are or become localized or confined to one part of the body, as opposed to infections that spread throughout the body.
