An abscess is a collection of pus in any part of the body. In most cases, the area around an abscess is swollen and inflamed.
A cutaneous abscess is a localized collection of pus in the skin and may occur on any skin surface. Symptoms and signs are pain and a tender and firm or fluctuant swelling. Diagnosis is usually obvious by examination. Treatment is incision and drainage. (See also Overview of Bacterial Skin Infections.
Abscesses are generally larger and deeper than boils with redness and painful swelling over an area filled with pus. Cellulitis is an infection within the skin and the area just beneath it; the skin is red and tender. The area of cellulitis can spread quickly.
Boils are superficial infections with a thin layer of skin over fluid. Abscesses are generally larger and deeper with redness and painful swelling over an area filled with pus.
Difference between cyst and abscess. While a cyst is a sac enclosed by distinct abnormal cells, an abscess is a pus-filled infection in your body caused by, for example, bacteria or fungi. The main difference in symptoms is: a cyst grows slowly and isn't usually painful, unless it becomes enlarged.
