Boils hurt because they are painful, pus-filled infections that occur in hair follicles or oil glands, often caused by bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. The inflammation and pressure from the buildup of pus can irritate surrounding tissues, leading to discomfort and pain. Additionally, the body's immune response to the infection can contribute to soreness in the affected area. As the boil develops and increases in size, the pressure can intensify, making the pain more pronounced.
