A hair bump is a result of an ingrown hair which tends to develop at the hair shaft's end. They have pointy sharpened end and normally will try to grow straight but if they're prevented from doing that they curl back into themselves and re enter into the same follicle that they were trying to grow out of ,when they occur, a hair bump is formed . Boils are skin infection involving an entire hair follicle and the tissues around it. They can occur anywhere on the body. They're common in the face, neck, thigh, armpit and chin. The difference between the two is that, a hair bump is caused by ingrown hair under the skin whereas the boil is caused by bacteria. They both can heal without treatment.

What is the difference between an ingrown hair and a boil?
An ingrown hair can be differenciated from a boil because it is a smaller red bump with a hair in it, and usually doesnt inflame as big as a boil.

They sometimes get a purplish tint or discoloration rather than just red.
