Dear Anon,
Thank you for posting.
A boil is a red, swollen, painful bump under the skin. Boils are often caused by infected hair follicles. Bacteria from the infection form an abscess, or pocket of pus. If you often get boils in the same area, making sure you wash well with soap and water every day is important. Antibacterial soap may help prevent boils. Always dry the area well. Do not wear tight clothing over the area. Ask your pharmacist what you can use, topically, to help. Your doctor can prescribe medication if the condition does not get better.
