Abscesses
An abscess is a painful, swollen area of tissue that fills with pus due to an infection. Abscesses can develop on the skin, known as skin abscesses, or internally within the body, referred to as internal abscesses. Skin abscesses often appear as red, tender bumps and can result from bacteria entering the skin through cuts, bites, or clogged hair follicles. Internal abscesses can occur in organs such as the liver, lungs, or even the brain, often resulting from a more serious infection.
