What is an Abscess?

About the Author            Home            What's it all about? 




Abscess


A pus filled blister, boil or bump
Pimply bulbous, filled with gunk
Is the bubbly lumpy taut abscess
I hate to say it but it's true
Squeezing them is fun to do
Just keep a tissue handy for the mess!

The word derives in history
From the word abscedere
Which is Latin for "to go away"
Used by doctors who believed
Squeezing sores could cure disease
Such was the pseudo science of the day...
