An abscess is a collection of pus that forms in tissues or organs in the body. An abscess is usually the result of an infection, but can also occur due to an injury. The most common type of abscess is a skin abscess, or boil.
A boil starts as a tender, red lump. It then fills with pus and becomes firm. The lump is usually very painful. Boils are most commonly found on the face, neck, armpits, buttocks, and thighs.
However, an abscess can form anywhere in the body. Internal abscesses can occur in the lungs, brain, liver, or other organs. When an abscess forms in the brain, it is called a brain abscess. If an abscess is not treated, the infection can spread to other parts of the body.
The signs and symptoms of abscess may include the following:
Most abscess are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, a type of bacterium commonly found on the skin and inside the nose. A bump forms as pus collects under the skin. Abscess sometimes develop at sites where the skin has been broken by a small injury or an insect bite, which gives the bacteria easy entry.
