Infection of a hair follicle.<\/p>\n

\n

A form of small skin abscess involving a sebaceous gland: furunculosis.<\/p>\n

\n

Boil: small, painful lump in the skin that has a core of dead tissue and surrounding inflammation. 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.<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n
