Pictures of BOILS

Pictures of Boils can look similar to skin acne. There are many different pictures of boils and some people even confuse them with skin acne, because acne skin will sometimes have boil like eruptions and bumps. Hopefully these pictures will help you decide on the proper treatment, especially if you can't afford major medical insurance.

Boils on the buttocks are called Pilonidal cysts. These types of boils are pretty common and are usually located in or above the crease of the butt. They usually start out as tiny dimple that become infected at the hair follicle. Over time, constant rubbing and pressure of the area causes it to enlarge and become inflamed and painful.

Pictures of Boils – What is a Boil?

A boil is a localized skin abscess that becomes infected. Boils usually start as a tender red area which – over time - becomes hard and filled with pus. When this pus reaches the skin surface, the boil develops a white head which eventually drains.(see pictures of boils above.) The pus is composed of bacteria and infection fighting white blood cells.

Pictures of Boils – What Causes Boils

What causes boils? Boils are caused by bacteria that enters into the skin through an opening like an ingrown hair, cut, acne, or any other foreign material that enters the skin. So how does the bacteria get under the skin? A few ways:

Ingrown hairs is a common cause of boils, especially in the goin area. Try applying a moist warm compresses to the area and use tweezers to gently free the hair from the skin. Be careful not to break the skin, however. Many ingrown hairs will heal on their own.

A splinter is another common reason for the development of a boil. If you get a splinter, you should try to remove it with tweezers and clean the area with alcohol. If the tweezers don't work, try to squeezing the surrounding area of the skin to push the splinter toward the surface of the skin and then try the tweezers again. It' important not to leave the splinter under the skin as an infection will likely develop.

Cystic acne can cause boils to form. In this case it’s important to wash the face with mild soap at least twice a day - especially during hot, humid summer months. If you are prone to acne try to wear minimal makeup, as cosmetics can clog the oil ducts and lead to boils.

When bacteria enter into the skin it causes a local infection deep in skin tissues. Skin boils usually start as a tender, sore, red spot. Eventually, not treated, this open skin spot starts to become infected and then fills up with pus and becomes hard and painful. Sometimes, this spot is so swollen and becomes filled with pus that it has to be lanced by a physician.

However, if treated early a trip to the doctor may be avoided. Home remedies for boils – especially if treated in the early stage – can be quite effective and much less expensive than a doctor’s visit.
