There are many causes of boils. Some boils can be caused by an ingrown hair. Others can form as the result of a splinter or other foreign material that has become lodged in the skin. Others boils, such as those of acne, are caused by plugged sweat glands that become infected.

Boiles happen when bacteria enters the skin and cause infection. They can be caused by ingrown hairs, pimples even certain dyes can irritate the skin and allow bad bacteria to enter the skin and cause boils. There is a salt you can bath in that is sold at the pharmacy that can help with the healing of boils, also you may want to buy a vary good antibacterial soap until it clears up.

I guess it is the body's waste that pushes up.
toothpaste will knock a boile down overnight or
bring it to a head.
try toothpaste on any zit or boil under the skin and get fast results by morn. u may have to try 1-3 nights for boil to completely disappear, This saves doctors visits and is safe.

a boil is a stapholococcus aerus infection of a hair follicle anywhere on the body, but frequently on the armpit, inner thigh area. Staph aerus is on everyone's skin, but a boil is when it gets into the hair follicle and creates an infection.
if you have them, put a warm compress on it to soften it. pinch it until it bursts and then drain it.
