Preventing Abscesses
Abscesses are sores, often on the skin but sometimes inside the body, which come from bacteria, parasites or fungi. These sores form as the body’s immune system fights intruders by sending in white blood cells to defend the body from damage. The abscess is made of protective walls of cells intended to keep the infection from spreading. Inside the abscess are dead tissue, invader organisms, fluid and white blood cells.
Who is at Risk for Getting an Abscess?

Although anyone could get an abscess, those most at risk are those who do not maintain a hygienic or healthy lifestyle or have a compromised immune system.
Some people most at risk would be:
• Those who do not maintain good hygiene
• Those who do not clean their skin properly
• Those who have poor dental hygiene (dental abscesses can result)
• People who are overweight (bacteria can get trapped in folds of skin)
• Someone receiving chemotherapy
Sites Where Abscesses can Form
Abscesses can form on the skin from puncture wounds, cuts and infected hair follicles. Also tooth abscesses can form when gum disease is present or a cavity is not treated. Additionally, abscesses can form in the vaginal area, on fallopian tubes or on ovaries. They can also be found in the brain, lungs or liver. In cellulitis, the infection can start in the outer layers of the skin but works down into deeper tissue and the bloodstream.

How to Prevent Abscesses and any Spreading Infection
There are a number of ways to protect against abscesses forming. General good health and maintaining hygiene is paramount. Some specific ways to avoid abscesses are:
• Wash skin regularly with soap and water
• Floss and brush daily
• Avoid nicking the skin when shaving
• Clean any wound immediately, and see a doctor for puncture wounds
• Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals
It is very important to know that when a boil or abscess is evident on the skin, it should not be squeezed to release the pus. This can push the infection deeper into the wound and possibly cause it to spread to surrounding tissues. If the abscess breaks open by itself, the drainage should be wiped away with tissues and the tissues disposed of. Afterwards, the person should wash his hands.

If the abscess is small, sometimes the person can encourage it to rupture and release the built-up fluids by putting a warm compress on it four times a day for thirty minutes. An Epsom salt paste is also good and can be used at night with a clean (sterile) dressing over it. The Epsom salt draws the infection to the top and can make the abscess drain naturally.
