General information

An abscess is an accumulation of pus that can occur anywhere in the body including on the skin and inside organs and tissues. When an abscess forms around a hair follicle it is known as a boil. Boils often surface on the buttocks, underarms, neck and the face, and first begin as small, firm and tender nodules that become red and swollen.

Generally boils do not spread.  Within two to four days a pustule usually forms in the center of the infected area. Then, several days later it tends to rupture and drain the white or yellow - colored pus. The abscess is called a carbuncle when the skin is red, painful, swollen and warm and it forms a raised/elevated lump.

An abscess can occur on anyone at any age – no one is immune to them. They are generally triggered by an impaired immune system, trauma, improper drainage of tissues, bacterial invasion, poor nutrition and other factors.

Skin abscesses tend to develop in places where tight clothing rubs against the skin as well as around small puncture wounds or cuts. The infected area becomes tender, red and swollen and fever may be present.

Delayed or improper treatment can lead to a spreading of the infection. People with a compromised immune system, such as those with HIV/AIDS or diabetes are more susceptible to a serious infection. Depending on the severity and the location of the infection you might already have been put on a course of antibiotics by your general practitioner.

If this is the case make sure that you take our HEALTH BOOSTER Probiotic to normalize the gut. In some cases the abscess will need to be cut and drained by your doctor. Consult your doctor about any skin abscess that appears on your face, contains red streaks or is filled with fluids. See a dentist regarding any mouth abscesses.

If you have not been put on any medication by your health care practitioner - a regime of FAITH DROPS will not only clear the infection topically as well as internally - but it will fortify the immune system assisting the body in clearing the infection naturally.
