Caused by bacterial (staphylococcal) infection through a sweat gland or hair follicle, it produces pain, redness, and swelling. Treatment is by antibiotics, applications of moist heat, and surgical incision and drainage if necessary.A painful lump that develops in the skin due to localized inflammation of the corium (skin layer) and the tissue just below it. This lump encloses a central area of dead tissue known as a "core." It is typically caused by staphylococci bacteria, which penetrate through the hair follicles. The formation of these lumps is more likely when there are underlying issues related to a person's overall health or digestion, as well as local sources of irritation.
