Answer 1

Boils usually form when one or more hair follicles — the tube-shaped shafts from which hair grows — become infected with staph bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). These bacteria, which normally inhabit your skin and sometimes your throat and nasal passages, are responsible for a number of serious diseases.

Staph bacteria that cause boils generally enter through a cut, scratch or other break in your skin. As soon as this occurs, specialized white blood cells called neutrophils rush to the site to fight the infection. This leads to inflammation and eventually to the formation of pus — a mixture of old white blood cells, bacteria and dead skin cells.

Answer 2

Boils are generally caused by staphylococcal infections. Some times these organisms are resistant to the commonly used Antibiotics causing recurrence.
So in such cases you may consult your dermatologist, for any culture and sensitivity if required, and further necessary treatment.

I have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa...
Its basically reoccuring boils/cysts.. on areas like
Groin, buttocks, armpits, stomach...
Check with your DOC. It is a newly named condition... I have had this for almost 9 years and barely put a name on it..
If your DOC doesnt know what the hell it is... talk to another...
Goolgle it also...
Sounds real familiar!!

boils are caused by staph on the skin colonizing a wound. Stop picking your face.
