Abscess Drainage

What is an abscess?

An abscess is a collection of pus which forms in the body due to an infection. It typically occurs when bacteria enters the body and causes the surrounding tissue to become inflamed. Abscesses can form in various parts of the body such as the skin, organs, or deeper tissue.  These pockets of pus can be painful, swollen, and warm to the touch.  If you are experiencing an abscess, don’t wait. Our experienced providers are equipped to handle your care and deliver you relief, fast!
