Home Remedies for Boils.

Boils are localized, tender, inflamed, pus-filled swellings in the skin surrounded by large red
areas. They are infections of the hair follicles of the skin. They are quite painful, particularly in
areas where the skin is closely attached to the underlying tissues, such as the nose, ears, or
fingers. They usually occur in teenagers and  young adults. The common sites for boils are the
face, neck, buttocks, and thighs.

At first, a painful red nodule appears on the skin. This grows bigger and then breaks down in the
middle where the pus collects. The patient experiences a great deal of irritation and itching. There
may be a single boil, or several boils in the same area or in different areas at or about the same
time, or they may come in successive crops. The swelling may not be limited to one hair follicle but
may extend to several follicles. When the boils ripen, they give out a discharge. Fever may
sometimes accompany the boils.

Boils are caused mainly by staphylococcus germs which enter the sweat glands or hair follicles.
The essential cause of this disorder is thus bacterial. However, several factors predispose the
growth of bacteria in hair follicles. Of these, the chief factor is a toxic condition in the blood
stream, which is due to a faulty diet and a frenetic pace of living. Boils generally appear when a
person is in a run-down and devitalized condition.
