Boils - Information on Boils

Boils can occur anywhere on your skin, but appear mainly on your face, neck, armpits, buttocks or thighs — hair-bearing areas where you're most likely to sweat or experience friction. Another name for a boil is a furuncle, and when multiple boils occur on the body, the condition is called furunculosis. Several boils joined together with tunnels under the skin are called a carbuncle. Boils usually start as red, tender lumps. The lumps quickly fill with pus, growing larger and more painful until they rupture and drain. Although some boils disappear a few days after they occur, most take about two weeks to heal.
