What is a boil?

A boil is an acute accumulation of pus in a hair follicle and its sebaceous gland , resulting from folliculitis . It presents as a painful, reddish nodule, a few centimeters in diameter, with a plug of pus in the center and a surrounding area that is severely swollen. It is not to be confused with an abscess, which is an accumulation of pus in body tissues, usually due to a bacterial infection, forming an inflamed cavity. It is often characterized by a swollen, red, hot, and painful area.

What are the symptoms of a butt boil?

A boil develops over a period of hours or days. Diagnosis of a boil on the buttocks usually begins with a red, hot, hard spot . As it progresses, other symptoms appear:

• The pain : the area becomes sensitive and may itch before the boil occurs.

• The pu : as it fills with pus, the boil becomes firmer.

• Size: No bigger than the diameter of a pencil, it can reach that of a golf ball when mature.

• The formation of a crust or discharge of pus , if the boil is burst and a hole lets pus pass.

• The spread to other areas: If you have a boil on your buttocks or anus, another may appear on your pubic area, lower back or thigh, for example. Boils can also be spread to other people through close contact, or by sharing towels or other personal items.

What causes pimples on the buttocks?

The buttocks are usually prone to ingrown hairs due to frequent shaving of the hair in this area. In addition, heat, bathing in a swimsuit or tight clothing can cause maceration, promoting the proliferation of bacteria or fungi. These microorganisms have the ability to infect the hair follicles , sometimes up to the root of the hair, which can then lead to a boil.
