A boil is an infection of a hair follicle. It will appear as red, pus-filled, tender bumps that hurt a lot. As to size, it can be very small, like a green pea, or huge like a Golf ball. The most common bacterial inflammation is caused by Staphylococcus aureus (Staph A), but there can be other bacterial involved either singly or in conjunction with the staph. Additional problems associated with a boil are scarring at the site, cellulitis or a spread of the infection into surrounding tissue and septicemia where the bacteria is taken to other sites via the blood.

What causes skin boils to form on the body and burst open?
Hello, I see you are asking "What are the causes for boils (skin abscesses)?" Most boils are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, a type of bacterium commonly found on the skin and inside the nose. A bump forms as pus collects under the skin. Boils sometimes develop at sites where the skin has been broken by a small injury or an insect bite, which gives the bacteria easy entry.
