Question

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Most boils are caused by staph bacteria (staphylococcus aureus), which many healthy people carry on their skin or in their noses without a problem. When a scrape, cut, or splinter breaks the skin, the bacteria can enter a hair follicle and start an infection. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
