Abscess Drainage & Soft Tissue Mass Removal

An abscess is a collection of pus caused by infection, while soft tissue masses include benign or abnormal growths such as cysts, lipomas, or infected nodules.

Causes:

  • Bacterial infections
  • Blocked oil or sweat glands
  • Ingrown hairs
  • Foreign objects in the skin
  • Chronic conditions like diabetes

Symptoms:

  • Swelling or lump under the skin
  • Redness and warmth in the affected area
  • Pain or tenderness
  • Pus or fluid discharge
  • Fever in case of severe infection

Treatments:

  • Abscess Drainage: A minor surgical procedure to drain pus and relieve pressure and pain.
  • Soft Tissue Mass Removal: Surgical excision of non-cancerous growths like lipomas or cysts for diagnosis, comfort, or cosmetic reasons.

Antibiotics may be prescribed post-procedure to prevent infection.

Prevention:

  • Maintain proper hygiene
  • Treat minor skin injuries promptly
  • Avoid squeezing or picking at lumps
  • Manage chronic health conditions like diabetes
