Of course, wise to seek help from a doctor, because the boil - it's not a simple pimple and self can lead to very dire consequences.
What is a boil?
Furuncle - a severe inflammation of the hair follicle (follicle from which hair grows). And not just an inflammation, and with signs of necrosis - necrosis of surrounding tissues. In addition, no cost and without suppuration - in a word, an inflammation occurs in a very acute form.
It develops, of course, not without reason - often becomes a source of purulent inflammation of Staphylococcus aureus. To pick up this infection, unfortunately, it is very, very simple - staph almost everywhere: public transportation handrails, unwashed fruits and vegetables, household items.
