Staphylococcus aureus ("staph") is the name of the bacteria that usually infect hair follicles. The bacteria normally live on the skin, particularly on certain parts of the body (, nose, mouth, genitals, and rectum). The bacteria cause an infection only if they penetrate the skin through a scrape, irritation, or injury of some kind. Sometimes friction (from clothing, for example) will cause a hair follicle to swell up. The opening becomes closed, trapping the bacteria inside and starting an infection.
Symptoms
A boil starts out as a red, painful lump. Usually within 24 hours, the lump fills with pus and takes on a round appearance with a yellow-white tip. There may be swelling around the boil as well as swelling of any lymph nodes near the boil. (You are most likely to notice swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin area.) The boil may be tender to touch or quite painful.
Symptoms of carbuncles are similar but more severe than those of boils.

How does boiling a solid substance affect its pressure?
Boiling a solid substance directly does not affect its pressure. However, when a solid substance boils and turns into a gas, the pressure can increase due to the expansion of the gas molecules.
Does tap water boil at 100 degrees celsius or less?
Tap water typically boils at 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure. However, factors like altitude can affect the boiling point of water.
What is the temerature water boils at?
at normal atmospheric temperature (in plains) it boils at 100oC
What is the K temperature at which water boils?
Water boils at 373.15 Kelvin.
What are boils caused from?
Boils are typically caused by a bacterial infection of hair follicles or oil glands. The most common bacteria responsible for boils is Staphylococcus aureus. Poor hygiene, compromised immune system, or ingrown hairs can also contribute to the development of boils.
What is a scientific question for a boiling water experiment?
How does the altitude at which water is boiled affect the temperature at which it boils?
How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?
There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.
Does the temperature of the water, whether cold or warm, affect the rate at which it boils?
Yes, the temperature of the water does affect the rate at which it boils. Warmer water will boil faster than cold water because the molecules in warmer water have more energy and move faster, leading to a quicker boiling process.
How do the solutes affect the frezzing pointand boiling points?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature and boils at a higher temperature.
Can water affect car heating?
Water boils hotter and faster then antifreeze, more water means engine damage.
How does temperature affect solubility of a solute in solvent?
it is when a solute rise in temprature and it is hot/cold so it boils or freezes jk
What is it when you have boils on you Virgina?
boils on a Virginia
Is Boils contagious?
Boils are not contagious
Will ofloxacin cure boils?
boils are bacterial infections and ofloxacin definitely work for boils
Why do boils come back in the same spot?
your fat
Can a boils in head cause hair fall?
Absolutely. Depending on the depth of the infection - your hair may or may not grow back. You may want to try high frequency treatments to stimulate the process.
Why does altitude affect baking?
Because as height increases, pressure decreases and therefore less temperature is needed to produce the same effects. For example, at sea level, water boils at 100C but on top of Mt Everest, water boils at around 70C.
