Explanation

Pus is an exudate typically white-yellow, yellow or yellow-brown formed at the site of inflammation during infection. An accumulation of pus in an enclosed tissue space is known as an abscess whereas a visible collection of pus within or beneath the epidermis is known as a pustule or pimple. Neutrophils are very active in phagocytosing bacteria and are present in large amount in the pus of wounds.
