An abscess or boil is a localized collection of pus that forms in response to an infection. The pus is composed of dead white blood cells, bacteria, and other debris from the body’s immune response to fight off the infection.
Some Common Causes of Abscesses are:
Bacterial Infections
Blocked Glands or Hair Follicles
Acne
Eczema
Post Surgical Procedures
Injuries
If an abscess/boil is not treated with properly, it can lead to recurrence or sepsis.
IMPORTANT!! Do not attempt to drain an abscess yourself. You can introduce more dangerous bacteria and make it worse!
Our Consultant General Surgeon can treat such issues with thorough abscess drainage and post-op antibiotics if the abscess is too large, painful, or is spreading into surrounding tissue (cellulitis).
