Boils

Boils are painful bumps that are filled with pus. Boils form under the skin when germs called bacteria infect a hair follicle where a hair forms. Boils may occur anywhere on the body, but are most often found on the face, neck, armpits, buttocks and thighs. A boil often takes about 14 days to heal.

Signs of Boils

A bump or open sore that:

•    Grows quickly, often within 24 hours

•    Is red, yellow or white at the tip

•    Has drainage or pus as the boil breaks open

•    Swells

•    Is warm

•    Is tender or painful

Your Care

•    Keep your skin clean.

•    Do not pick or squeeze the boil. Bacteria can spread to nearby skin and cause the infection to spread.

•    Apply a clean, warm, wet washcloth to the area several times a day to aid healing and reduce swelling.

Call your doctor if you have:

•    A very painful or large boil

•    A fever

•    New boils

•    Red lines coming out from a boil. This may be a sign that the infection has entered your blood stream.

•    A boil that does not improve by day 10

•    A boil that has not healed in 14 days

Talk to your doctor or nurse if you have any questions or concerns.
