Abscesses occur for several reasons. For example, skin abscesses may occur when the oil (sebaceous) glands or sweat glands become blocked, the hair follicles become inflamed (this is called a perifollicular abscess), or from minor wounds to the skin.
Germs get under the skin or into these glands, and are fought off by the body's defences. This causes the area to become swollen and sometimes painful. The middle of the abscess containing the dead cells, bacteria, and other debris, turns to liquid and begins to grow, causing the surrounding tissue to become more swollen.
The usual cause of an abscess is an infection with bacteria. Certain bacteria are more likely to be pus-forming as they make toxins (chemicals) which can damage the body's tissues. These include: Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.
People with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop abscesses. These include people with AIDS, cancer, or diabetes, people who are having treatment such as chemotherapy or chronic steroid therapy, and those who have had serious trauma such as extensive burns.
Dental or tooth abscess are usually a result of dental decay.

Certain bacteria are more common on the skin. Some are more aggressive and can actually follow a hair follicle and get in that way. Some people seem to harbor more of these than other folks. For instance, staph infections may reside in yourtissuess and blood, almost dormant. They can pop up anywhere..the face, the inside of an arm or thigh, the back. Staph is bad enough That it shouldn't be popped. If it spreads out can be seriously messed up. especially if it abscessess to the spine or brain. the method of choice for a "boil" is to have it antiseptically surgically removed.Followed by antibiotics. If the infection is simple acne, it may not be as serious, but squishing it is still not the best procedure.Health Question & Answer
