About
A boil is a painful pus-filled lump that develops when a hair follicle or oil gland becomes deeply infected, usually by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Boils can appear anywhere on the body but are common on the face, neck, armpits and thighs. Most boils resolve with warm compresses, though larger ones may need medical drainage.
