A cyst is a fluid filled sac, normally soft and painless.
A boil is caused by an infection, (usually staphlococcus). It starts like a big spot and grows, gets red and painful and fills with pus. It will often come to a 'head', become acutely painful, and burst.

A cyst is usually filled with clear (serus) fluid. A boil is usually filled with pus.
