"Most of us at one time or another will experience the unpleasantness of an abscess. An abscess is an enclosed pocket of pus which is actually liquefied tissue. It follows the body's immune response to foreign objects or infection. Anyone can an abscess at any time and anywhere in the body, however the most common varieties are on the surface of the skin. Most abscesses are treated at home or in a doctor's office, but it is not uncommon for more acute occurrences to require minor surgery to drain an abscess, especially in older adults.

Essentially, there are two types of abscesses, septic and sterile. Septic abscesses are more common and are the result of human immune response to infection by bacteria, viruses or parasites. White blood cells gather at the infected site and begin to secrete enzymes and proteins, so-called oxidants. This process 'digests' or breaks down the foreign substance or organisms into small pieces that can be collected by the circulatory system and excreted from the body. One side effect is that the germs and the compounds produced by the body begin to digest or break down the localized body tissue. The result is a thick yellow liquid called pus which is a mixture of digested germs and tissue, enzymes, and white blood cells.

Sterile abscesses are usually a milder form which is not caused by bacteria or infection, but by irritants such as injected drugs or swallowed objects. These abscesses are 'sterile' because there is no infection and resultant immune response involved. If an injected drug like penicillin is not absorbed completely, it remains at the injection site and can cause irritation which may lead to a sterile abscess. Sterile abscesses are likely to be a hard, solid mass under the skin rather than a swollen pocket of pus.

The body parts most frequently affected by abscesses are the face, arms and legs, rectum, sebaceous glands and mammary glands during lactation. Risk factors for abscesses include: untreated skin infections, diabetes, obesity and a weakened immune system.

There are numerous causes of abscesses. Septic abscesses are usually caused by infecting organisms. The most common are the pus-forming (pyogenic) bacteria such as streptococcus and staphylococcus aureus. The skin abscesses are usually caused by staphylococcal infections that invade the body through cracks or skin lesions. Community associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasingly a matter of skin abscess. Abscesses near the large intestine, especially around the anus can be caused by one of the many bacteria in the colon. Brain abscesses and liver abscesses can be caused by bacteria, protozoa and fungi, which travel through the bloodstream.

Symptoms of abscesses can range from a mild nuisance to very painful and include heat or localized fever, redness, swelling and pain in the affected area. Medical treatment is suggested for painful abscesses or ones that last more than one week."

Oh it's real, those infections get out of control. The sight of pus should make anyone a bit disgusted, it's natural instinct to want to avoid infection that said I wouldn't have had a problem draining that sucker what a work story. "Hey bro you'll never guess how much puss and oil I drained out of this dipshits arm this morning, it was disturbing"

ha ha ha ha ha I have to say it's not the most pleasant thing to drain them, never had one myself but seen plenty. The worst is when the core solidifies then you have to go to the dr and get it cut out! Grose!!!!

Mind you my very first bodybuilding comp I got an infected hair follicle on the side of my leg and of course no one believed me when I told them.

Much more, that and the crystals stay trapped in the muscle and take some time to break down so your bodies natural reaction it to send antibodies to that area anyway. Any kind of small infection in your system and you have your abcess even if the winny is clean.

Bad news water based steroids, especially in the current home made environment.
