An abscess is a painful, swollen pocket of pus that forms when the body fights off a bacterial infection. It can develop almost anywhere — under the skin, near a hair follicle, or in deeper tissues. The area becomes red, warm, tender and increasingly painful as pressure builds.
Antibiotics alone often cannot clear an established abscess because the trapped pus needs to be released. Prompt drainage relieves pain quickly and prevents the infection from spreading. At Megha Surgical Hospital we treat abscesses efficiently and comfortably.
