- An abscess presents with erythematous, fluctuant, and localized swelling in skin; tender on palpation: pain frequently relieved by rupture of abscess
- Labs = culture of abscess contents can determine pathogen, but carries a high rate of false-positive findings if not performed under sterile conditions
- Treatment = incision and drainage + antibiotics (cephalosporins initially, then pathogen specific)
- Complications = large, eroding facial abscess can cause cavernous sinus thrombosis
