SKIN ABSCESS

Abstract

Our skin, which is the largest organ of our body, is one of the organs most prone to abscess formation. They are infections that develop as a result of microbial invasion and inflammation of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. Among these infections, we often encounter folliculitis, furuncles, and carbuncles. We often see gram-positive microorganisms such as staphylococcus and streptococcus found on the skin as causative agents. Although the treatment of these infections varies depending on the patient’s clinic, it is generally provided with topical or systemic antibiotics. Most of the time, the clinic goes smoothly, but if neglected, it can cause serious problems.
