Abscesses

    Introduction

    What is an Abscess?

It occurs when the body’s immune system responds to fight off bacteria, viruses, or foreign particles, leading to swelling, redness, and pain. While some abscesses are small and resolve on their own, others require medical intervention to prevent complications.
