What causes a neck abscess? A neck abscess occurs during or just after a bacterial or viral infection in the head or neck such as a cold, tonsillitis, sinus infection, or otitis media (ear infection). As an infection worsens, it can spread down into the deep tissue spaces in the neck or behind the throat.
The skin develops an abscess due to inflammation of the hair follicles. An abscess contains a middle portion that is filled with debris, which is enveloped by a clear border pink in color. As more and more debris gets collected in the abscess it becomes inflamed and causes pain. People with weakened immunity, certain chronic disorders like diabetes, ulcers and certain medical conditions like cancer, leukemia, sickle cell disease, and peripheral vascular disorder have more chance for getting abscesses.
