Abscess and Hematoma Treatment Q&A

What Is an Abscess?

An abscess is a localized collection of pus caused by infection. It typically presents as a swollen, red, painful lump that may feel warm to the touch. Abscesses can form anywhere in the body but are most common in the skin and soft tissue, especially in areas of friction, pressure, or minor trauma.

Symptoms of Abscesses:

  • Painful, swollen lump under the skin
  • Redness and warmth around the area
  • Fever or chills (in severe cases)
  • Pus drainage or a central soft area

What Is a Hematoma?

A hematoma is a collection of blood outside of blood vessels, typically caused by trauma or injury. It may appear as a bruise, bump, or discolored area under the skin. Unlike a simple bruise, a hematoma may be firmer, larger, and take longer to heal.

Symptoms of Hematomas:

  • Swelling and tenderness
  • Skin discoloration (blue, purple, or black)
  • Pain at the site of injury
  • Limited mobility (if large or near a joint)
