What It Is
Boils are painful, pus-filled lumps that develop under the skin due to bacterial infection, usually Staphylococcus aureus. When multiple boils cluster together or form a larger pocket of pus, it is called an abscess. They can occur anywhere on the body and often cause redness, swelling, and tenderness.
How It Works
At ClairéDerma, treatment focuses on draining the infection safely, controlling bacteria, and preventing recurrence. Dermatologists may use:
Incision and drainage for larger abscesses
Oral or topical antibiotics
Pain relief and anti-inflammatory measures
