GlossaryAbscess

localized pus-filled infection in tissues, often painful and swollen

An abscess, also known as a boil or furuncle, is a localized collection of pus within tissues, organs, or confined spaces in the body, typically caused by a bacterial infection. It manifests as a swollen, red, and painful area that may feel warm to the touch, and it often requires medical treatment to drain the pus and address the underlying infection.
