Abscess is an accumulation of pus that can occur anywhere in the body, including on the skin and inside of organs and tissues.

But when an abscess forms around a hair follicle, it’s known as a BOIL. Dr. Samuel Yu, a Medical doctor at Bethsaida clinic in Wandegeya describes an abscess as a swelling on or in the body where a thick yellowish poisonous liquid (pus) has gathered on a human body.

The causes of abscess are poor diet, impaired immune system, trauma, puncture wounds or cuts, clothing rubbing against the skin and bacterial invasion.
