Boils Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)

The human body is covered with thousands of tiny hairs. Each one of these tiny hairs grows through skin from follicle. If one of these follicles becomes infected, then swollen, painful, hot, localised red lump can develop. That is boil. Similarly, if sweat gland, sebaceous gland, or even small cut in skin, becomes infected, result may be boil.

A pimple or spot, by way, is just underdeveloped boil. Though they seem to be less common than in past, boils are still health hazard to try to avoid. Boils most commonly occur where skin is rubbed by clothing. This is why they seem to develop most frequently in places that are most troublesome. back of neck, where collar rubs, is common site.

When boil develops, first thing to remember is not to squeeze! This can just as easily send pus downwards and into tissues, as upwards and out into open. best treatment is most simple. Just cover boil with dry dressing, and leave it alone to come to head and burst.
