Definition: The term "abscess" refers to a collection of pus in an opening or a cavity, usually in a fluid-filled sac (usually lymph node), caused by a bacterial infection. In this context, there are two main types of abscesses: one that is not caused by any bacteria but is due to an allergic reaction to the body's own components (such as milk, meat, and fish), called a "fungal abscess," and another type that is caused by the presence of pus in a lymph node that has been infected. Fungal abscesses are usually treated with antifungal medications, while lymph node abscesses require surgical intervention to remove the infected area.
