An abscess that occurs around a hair follicle is known as a follicular abscess or furuncle (boil). It typically results from a bacterial infection, often Staphylococcus aureus, which leads to the accumulation of pus, inflammation, and swelling in the affected area. These abscesses can be painful and may require drainage and antibiotic treatment to resolve the infection effectively. In some cases, recurrent abscesses may indicate an underlying skin condition or compromised immune system.
