    Glossary Scalp Abscess

    localized pus-filled infection on the scalp

    A scalp abscess, also known as a boil on the scalp, is a localized collection of pus within the scalp tissue, typically caused by a bacterial infection. It often presents as a painful, swollen, and red lump, and may require medical treatment such as drainage and antibiotics to prevent complications and promote healing.
