An abscess is a sign that the body is trying to rid itself of impurities. Abscesses can appear internally or externally and can form in the brain, lungs, gums, teeth, sinuses, tonsils, kidneys, rectum or any other part of the body. Most abscesses heal completely in one to two weeks with proper treatment. There are two types of abscesses: Acute abscesses appear suddenly (over a few hours or overnight) and usually respond well to treatment. Chronic abscesses develop over a period of days or weeks and are more resistant to treatment due to the sevarity and widespread nature of the abscess. - - - - - - - - - - - - Back to Top - - - - - - - - - - - - Possible Causes of Abscesses Abscesses are the result of injury or lowered resistance to infection.
