Abscess
An abscess is a localized collection of pus that forms within tissues, organs, or spaces in the body, typically due to a bacterial infection. It is characterized by swelling, redness, and pain in the affected area. Treatment often involves drainage of the pus and antibiotics to clear the infection.
