Skin Boils, also know as Skin Abscesses, actually have more than one cause. One cause of Skin Boils is more common than others. The other causes are less common, but equally unpleasant.
The main cause of Skin Boils is an ingrown, infected hair follicle. When a hair follicle becomes ingrown, the skin becomes irritated and inflammed as the body tries to correct the problem. This sometimes causes an infection which can become a Skin Boil. A skin boil caused by an ingrown hair follicle is more likely to occur in the groin/inner thigh or underarm area.
An effective natural treatment to help relieve the painful symptoms associated with boils is available here. (It also helps stop boils recurring).
The second most common cause of skin boils is blocked oil or sweat glands. When oil and sweat glands become clogged and are unable to secrete, there is a build up of fluid in the gland which can become infected. These type of skin boils occur in cases of cystic acne on the face and neck.
Another cause of skin boils can simply be a break in the skin surface, such as a cut or graze, which becomes infected. The skin is our natural barrier to infection, and when that barrier is breached by an injury, bacteria can enter the wound and the potential infection can result in a skin boil. Therefore, it is very important for skin cuts and grazes to be properly cleaned and covered.
A foreign body injuring the skin, such as a splinter, can be another cause of Skin boils.
The human body’s response to a foreign object in the skin, is to send white blood cells to fight the potential infection and attempt to expell the splinter which doesn’t belong there. That is why the area around a splinter often becomes inflammed, and if not removed and treated with antiseptic, can result in infection and sometimes a skin boil.
A further cause of skin boils is a staphylococus aureus infection on the skin. This is a particular type of bacteria which can cause a skin boil known as a carbuncle. A carbuncle is larger than a skin boils and usually has multiple openings onto the skin surface. They are are particularly nasty, and should be treated by a medical practitioner.
Knowing the cause of skin boils is fine, but knowing how to treat Skin Boils early and reduce the pain and severity of skin boils is better.
