10 Causes of Boils
Cause #8: Contact with Other Boils
Unlike pimples and many other forms of small abscesses, boils can actually be transmitted from person to person, or from place to place on your body. This is because boils are actually caused by a certain type of bacteria, and these bacteria can be spread by contact.
If you come into contact with another person who has boils on their body, it’s important to practice good hygiene afterward to ensure that you don’t develop boils as well.
