Groups of Boils
Boils may appear alone or in small patches. This may happen due to a more widespread infection or from pus on the surface of the skin infecting nearby hair follicles. The boils may each appear distinctly or form into a larger connected area.2‘Boils.’ Nhs.uk, 17 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/boils/
If a person has more than one boil or the pain is severe, they should call a doctor. A cluster of boils may develop into a single connected area of infection called a carbuncle, which may cause nastier symptoms.1‘Boils and Carbuncles - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 11 Sept. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/boils-and-carbuncles/symptoms-causes/syc-20353770
