Of course, wise to seek help from a doctor, because the boil - it's not a simple pimple and self can lead to very dire consequences.
What is a boil?
Furuncle - a severe inflammation of the hair follicle (follicle from which hair grows). And not just an inflammation, and with signs of necrosis - necrosis of surrounding tissues. In addition, no cost and without suppuration - in a word, an inflammation occurs in a very acute form.
It develops, of course, not without reason - often becomes a source of purulent inflammation of Staphylococcus aureus. To pick up this infection, unfortunately, it is very, very simple - staph almost everywhere: public transportation handrails, unwashed fruits and vegetables, household items.
And if staph gets on your skin, where there is the slightest microtrauma, a chance to become "happy" owner of the boil is very, very high. Especially if your body is suffering from additional negative effects - heavy sweating, unhealthy food, a weakened immune system.
The appearance of the boil is very specific - it is easy to recognize. The skin is inflamed, swollen, and looks like a nodule, the size varies greatly, from a few millimeters to a centimeter in diameter - this depends on the stage of the inflammatory process. Inside flushed seal resurfaces rod boil, whitish color with ulceration in the center.
Most often boils occur in the area of the back, neck, face, back of the head. Sometimes the situation is more troublesome: boils are not unique - it is called furunculosis. Furunculosis ignored in any case it is impossible, because it can lead to serious complications such as sepsis, and even purulent meningitis.
