1. Boils Treatments Boils are formation of bacterial infection in the hair follicles. The infected area gets swollen, filled with pus and is accompanied by pain The bacterium responsible for the formation of boils is known as Staphylococcus aureus. Boils are very troublesome if not well treated . Boils generally develop on the skin areas that are covered with coarse hair and the regions that are exposed to mild range of friction. The skin areas that are most likely to be affected by boils are the neck, buttocks , elbows, knees and similar other regions. The boil at first starts with a small nodule that is red in appearance and quite painful if subjected to touch. With the growth of the bacteria the boil gradually increases in size. The top part of the boil then becomes soft and in the later stages pus flows out from its top portion . Healing of Boils A boil takes about a couple of weeks to heal naturally. With 5 to 7 days of its formation, the boil turns out to be a lump filled with pus of a diameter about 3 to 10 centimeters. As the boil gets matured pus along with blood begin to come out. With the passage of time the boil becomes dry and vanishes from the skin leaving a small scar. But sometimes, the boils can become too painful to bear and too infectious to get cured. For instances like formation of too many boils at one place, or a big size boil at a very prominent location like at the middle of the face, you are recommended to go for a boils treatment under authentic medical supervision.
