An abscess is a painful, swollen area filled with pus caused by a bacterial infection. It can form anywhere on the body, including the skin, mouth, or internal organs. Abscesses often result from infections, blocked glands, or minor wounds that become infected.
The skin around the abscess is cleaned with an antiseptic.
A numbing agent is injected to minimize discomfort.
A small cut is made to release the pus and relieve pressure.
The area is washed with a sterile solution to remove debris.
