Whenever you have a skin infection that starts out with oil in your glands or a hair follicle, it could turn into a boil. In fact, a boil is a skin infection that just starts off like a normal pimple looking area. Over the course of a few days, the lump will start to grow in size and become sore to the touch. A few more days after that, you will notice that your skin boils start turning white. This is because of all the pus that has collected under the skin in that location. Although boils can happen anywhere, the most common place that you are going to find them is on the face and neck. Other places you might find them would be on your butt, armpits, and shoulders. If you get a boil on your eye, you would call that a sty, but for the most part, it is still the same thing. Read more in Boils Treatment

Signs and Symptoms of Boils and Carbuncles
A boil (also known as a furuncle) is a bacterial infection of a blocked oil gland or hair follicle. A boil usually appears suddenly as a painful pink or red bump about half an inch in diameter. The surrounding skin also may be red and swollen. Within 24 hours, the bump fills with pus. It grows larger and more painful for five to seven days, sometimes reaching golf-ball size before it develops a yellow-white tip that finally ruptures and drains. Boils generally clear completely in about two weeks. Small boils usually heal without scarring, but a large boil may leave a scar. Read more in Boils and Carbuncles Home Remedy
