Causes for Boils
Alternative Name: Furuncle
Boils Menu
|
The main cause of boils is a bacteria known as Staphylococcus Aureus. This bacteria typically enters the body through cuts, scratches, and other breaks in the skin. They can also be transmitted from one person to other easily. They can even live on us all the time and a poor lifestyle, or nutrition are all potential causes of boils.
Boils and carbuncles are more likely to occur in persons living in poor hygiene or living in areas where sanitation is not good. These conditions are very common in rural areas of many develping countries like india and pakistan.
Some other causes of boils include:
- Ingrown hair.
- Splinter or other foreign material that has become lodged in the skin.
- Plugged sweat glands that become infected.
Boils usually form when one or more hair follicles - the tube-shaped shafts from which hair grows - become infected with staph bacteria. These bacteria, normally inhabit your skin and sometimes your throat and nasal passages, are responsible for a number of serious diseases, including:
- Pneumonia
- Meningitis
- Urinary tract infection (UTI)
- Endocarditis
- Food-borne illness: First aid
