A boil is a localized
infection in the skin that begins as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the
area becomes firm, hard, and increasingly tender. Eventually, the center of the
boil softens and becomes filled with infection-fighting white blood cells from the
bloodstream to eradicate the infection. This collection of white blood cells,
bacteria, and proteins is known as pus. Finally, the pus "forms a
head," which can be surgically opened or may spontaneously drain out
through the surface of the skin. Pus enclosed within tissue is referred to as
an abscess. A boil is also referred to as a skin abscess. Boils can occur
anywhere on the body, including the trunk, extremities, buttocks, groin, or
other areas. Self medication can
prove hazardous as it may spread infection.Consult your nearest dermatologist
