Wikipedia
An abscess is a collection of pus that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue in which the pus resides on the basis of an infectious process or other foreign materials (e.g. , splinters, bullet wounds, or injecting needles). It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body.
