Boils: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia - NIH
Boils are very common. They are most often caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. They can also be caused by other types of bacteria or fungi found on the skin's surface. Damage to the hair follicle allows the infection to grow deeper into the follicle and the tissues under it.

Boils - American Osteopathic College of Dermatology (AOCD)
Boils (also known as furuncles or carbuncles) are tender, red lumps that may ooze pus. A single boil may be due to a ruptured cyst or a small abscess. Most boils can be treated by incision and drainage, a minor surgical procedure to open the boil and to drain the pus. Oral antibiotics are usually not needed.
