Skin abscesses are collections of pus within the dermis and deeper skin tissues. Most abscesses are caused by infection. However, sterile abscesses can occur in the setting of injected irritants.

Skin abscesses are collections of pus within the dermis and deeper skin tissues. Skin abscesses manifest as painful, tender, fluctuant and erythematous nodules, frequently surmounted by a pustule and surrounded by a rim of erythematous swelling.

Furuncle (boil) is an infection of the hair follicle in which purulent material extends through the dermis into the subcutaneous tissue, where a small abscess forms.

Carbuncle is a coalescence of several inflamed follicles into a single inflammatory mass with purulent drainage from multiple follicles.
