An abscess is a localized accumulation of pus caused by infection or trauma, leading to pain, swelling, and fever. Removal involves minor surgery to extract the pus, especially if it's large or poses a risk of complications. The procedure, often performed under local anesthesia, may require a small or larger incision. Post-removal care includes wound cleaning and possibly sutures. Similarly, cyst drainage involves removing fluid or material from a closed sac to alleviate pain or prevent rupture. It's done using a sterile needle or catheter after numbing the area with local anesthesia. Whether you're dealing with an abscess or cyst, timely treatment is key to preventing complications.
