It can happen to us to see balls or bumps, painful, on a part of our body. Most of the time, they are abscesses or boils that often have particularly disgusting lumps, including the accumulation of pus.
Most often, a large and infectious abscess should be managed by a specialist physician to avoid a risk of infection overgrowth.
What is an abscess?
The abscess is a bacterial infection of a skin hair or sebaceous cyst. This infection may have inflammatory signs such as redness, heat, or pain.
Treatment of a large abscess
- If the abscess is not yet mature and does not present a white head, most often it is treated with an oral antibiotic or ointment.
- If the abscess is mature, with a soft appearance and a white head, it can be treated by surgical treatment under local anesthesia which consists of an incision of the affected part to extract the accumulation of pus and proceed by the following disinfection and sanitization of the operated part.
- An abscess can develop in several parts of the body: on the cheek, the neck, the neck or even on the leg.
Here are some examples of shocking abscesses

The abscess at the back of the head
It is the same for abscesses that develop at the back of the head. The treatment of these cysts must be done by a dermatologist and with appropriate equipment in order to extract the accumulation of pus.
Cysts develop particularly on the back but as they harden, they become difficult to treat and open by the dermatologist.
Causes of the abscesses appearance
The appearance of an abscess is most often due to bacteria, including staphylococci and streptococci. This type of bacteria can penetrate either by way of a lesion or a cut or by the obstruction of the sweat glands and sebaceous glands.
The appearance of an abscess can be caused by the consequence of a negative emotional state, fueled by wounds or a desire for revenge repressed. The body is responsible for expressing it by the eruption of abscesses or cysts. The area affected by this condition indicates that the emotional blockage comes from that part of the body. As a result, an emotional release is required to begin healing and prevent the appearance of other lesions on the body.
- The weakness of the immune system can also be the cause of the appearance of abscesses and boils. Patients with acquired immunodeficiency (AIDS) may be victims.
- Acne and dermatitis can degenerate into boils and abscesses.
