statistical signficance
I think the link to statistical significance should remain as such an not be split into two links to statistical and significance. Check out statistical significance and I think you will see it is more on target. OK if I revert that one change? Badgettrg 12:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
incorrect redirect
"pustules" should not redirect to "abscess". Pustules should eat you if anything redirect to "rash". They are pus-filled vesicles on the skin surface. Wwallacee 20:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. Abscess is generally larger and deeper. Pusutles are confined to the epidermis-dermis layers only. MoiAussie (talk) 21:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
typing error?
The introduction says that an abscess wall that is formed in an attempt to limit the immune cells from attacking the bacteria.
This seems like an error - shouldn't it be "attacking the healthy cells" instead of the bacteria? Why should the body try to limit the attacking of the bacteria?

the picture also displays a hemorrhagic vesicle with surrounding cellulitis vs. inflammation rather than an abscess Rruggero 06:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC) in addition, by definition, an abscess does not have a "wall", unlike a cyst. Rruggero 06:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Primary closure
What does this mean? Non obvious to non-medics? A link or an explanation would help —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.102.149 (talk) 14:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Abcess scarring
What is the name of the scarring left by abcesses? It's like an inverted bump rather than bieng flat like a normal scar, but it's not raised like a Keloid. Any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scaeme (talk • contribs) 21:48, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
