What causes boils?
Most commonly, boils are caused by one of three problems: • Ingrown hairs • Foreign objects • Acne A skin boil caused by ingrown hairs are especially common. An ingrown hair is one that does not grow straight out the follicle as it should, but rather twists and begins to penetrate through underlying skin layers.This causes extreme irritation and thus may cause a boil to form. Foreign objects, such as splinters, may also cause boils on the skin as the body works naturally to get it out. White blood cells will form around the object to “fight” it, thereby creating pus under the skin. Cuts and scrapes can also become a boil if an infection occurs and thus require skin abscess treatment. Courtesy of Ingamun Acne is another common boils’ cause. Whether you get them during puberty because of hormone imbalances or it is simply a genetic issue, many people have this problem. It is called “cystic acne”.
