dc.description.abstractSkin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) are common diagnosis in both the pediatric and adult populations and include abscesses and cellulitis. An abscess is a focal, contained, purulent infection with a clearly defined “cavity” and surrounding inflammation involving the deep subcutaneous tissues. There has been overall increase in SSTIs, with a concomitant rise in the incidence of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). We here report a case of facial subcutaneous abscess in neonate, a 20-days-old male full term baby born to a G2P1D1 mother via LSCS in view of non-progression of labor with birth weight of 2.8 kgs presented in our hospital with subcutaneous abscess diffusely present on the left side of the scalp & face. Informant was father with good reliability. All relevant investigations sent & IVantibiotics like meropenem & vancomycin started. Incision & drainage done by pediatric surgeon & 100 ml pus removed. IVantibiotics given for 14 days. In summary, though upper & lower limb skin abscesses are more common, but one should not miss the facial subcutaneous abscess for their prompt and effective management.en_US
