Skin, mouth, liver, lungs, bones, appendix, mouth, spine, nose, sinus, tonsils, etc. It depends on the individual tendency to catch infection; which in turn is governed by the genetic predisposition.

Causes of abscess:

Abscess is essentially caused by infection, largely bacterial infection. It can also be caused by parasite infection. An abscess may be caused or triggered by a foreign body or physical trauma or injury.

Why does one get an abscess?

Any abscess is a sign of body’s reaction to infection or trauma. It is a sign of body’s defense mechanism at work whereby an army of white blood cells start fighting against the infection or foreign body and lead to pus formation. In this process, there will be inflammation, swelling, painfulness and even fever.

Who gets frequent abscesses?

A condition of frequent abscesses especially on the skin is a common phenomenon, suggesting underlying faulty immune system. In such cases, the underlying immunity calls for treatment besides addressing local infection as a stand alone problem.

Role of homeopathy for abscess:

Homeopathy offers’ safe, non – addictive, non- invasive, gentle medication for both Acute (Recent Origin) and chronic (Long standing) or Recurrent Abscess.The formation of an abscess is surely a sign of altered underlying immunity, which can be treated effectively using homeopathy.
Homeopathy is strongly indicated for recurring and resistant cases of abscesses.
