  2. Abscesses are formed due to bacterial infections and the body's immune response12345. Here are the main reasons:
    • Bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, cause most abscesses.
    • Inflammation and tissue death lead to the formation of a pocket filled with pus.
    • Obstruction in a sweat or oil gland, hair follicle, or pre-existing cyst can also trigger an abscess.
    • The immune system tries to contain the infection by forming a capsule of tissue around it.
    • White blood cells move to the infected area, leading to pus formation.
    • Foreign substances or parasites can also cause abscesses.
    Learn more:
    Bacterial infections usually cause abscesses. A bacteria called Staphylococcus causes most abscesses. When bacteria enter your body, your immune system sends white blood cells to go fight the infection. This process causes inflammation, and the tissue nearby dies. When this happens, a pocket forms and fills with pus, creating an abscess.

    Abscesses usually form when your immune system tries to contain a bacterial infection. As it is fighting the infection, pus (a liquid or semi-liquid mixture of bacteria and dead cells) is made. Your body tries to stop it from spreading by forming a 'wall' or capsule of tissue to contain it. This is the abscess.

    Abscesses occur when an area of tissue becomes infected and the body's immune system tries to fight and contain it. White blood cells (WBCs) move through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect in the damaged tissue. During this process, pus forms.
