Homeopathic treatment for Furuncles (Boils)
A Furuncles (Boils) is a walled-off collection of pus that is a painful, firm, or fluctuant mass.
Cellulites may precede or occur in conjunction with it. An abscess is a cavity formed by finger like loculations of granulation tissue and pus that extends outward along planes of least resistance.
Furuncles are uncommon in children, but increase in frequency after puberty. Furunculosis occurs as a self-limited infection in which one or several lesions are present or as a chronic, recurrent disease that lasts for months or years, affecting one or several family members.
Most patients with sporadic or recurrent Furunculosis appear to be otherwise healthy and have an intact immune system.
- Bacteria S. aureus is the most common pathogen.
- The infecting strain may be found during quiescent periods in the nares and perineum.
- There is evidence that the anterior nares are the primary site from which the staphylococcus is disseminated to the skin.
- Other organisms, either aerobic (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis) or anaerobic (Bacteroides, Lactobacillus, Peptococcus, Peptostreptococcus), may cause furuncles.
- In general, the microbiology of abscesses reflects the micro flora of the anatomic part of the body involved.
- Anaerobes are found in perineal abscesses and in some head and neck abscesses.
- Perirectal and peri-anal region abscesses often are reflective of fecal flora.
- Approximately 5% of abscesses are sterile. Bacteria colonize the skin in patients with atopic dermatitis, eczema, and scabies.
- Predisposing Conditions Occlusion of the groin and buttocks by clothing, especially in patients with hyperhidrosis, encourages bacterial colonization.
- Follicular abnormalities, evident by the presence of comedones and acneiform papules and pustules, are often found on the buttocks and axillae of patients with recurrent Furunculosis of those areas; these findings suggest the diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa.
- Boil (furuncle) is a localized deep suppurative necrotizing form of folliculitis which involves the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue.
- Staphylococcus aureusis the most common causative agent.
- Following an abrasion or cut, the pathogen uses the wound site to invade and colonize the hair follicle.
- This leads to the formation of tender, erythematous, perifollicular nodule.
- The boil later becomes painful and fluctuant leading to discharge of pus and formation of necrotic plugs, which may leave a scar.
- The lesion begins as a deep, tender, firm, red papule that enlarges rapidly into a tender, deep-seated nodule that remains stable and painful for days and then becomes fluctuant.
- The patient does not have a fever or systemic symptoms. Pain becomes moderate to severe as purulent material accumulates. Pain is most intense in areas where expansion is restricted, such as the neck and external auditory canal.
- The abscess either remains deep or reabsorbs or points and ruptures through the surface.
- The abscess cavity contains a surprisingly large quantity of pus and white chunks of necrotic tissue. The point of rupture heals with scarring. Carbuncles are aggregates of infected follicles.
- The infection originates deep in the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue, forming a broad, red, swollen, slowly evolving, deep, painful mass that points and drains through multiple openings. Malaise chills, and fever precede or occur during the active phase.
- Deep extension into the subcutaneous tissue may be followed by sloughing and extensive scarring.
- Areas with thick dermis (i.e., the back of the neck, the back of the trunk, and the lateral aspects of the thighs) are the preferred sites. In the pre-antibiotic era, there were some fatalities.
Location:
Lesions may occur at any site but favor areas prone to friction or minor trauma, such as underneath a belt, the anterior thighs, buttocks, groin, axilla, and waist.
History and Symptoms
A detailed and thorough history from the patient is necessary. Specific areas of focus when obtaining a history from the patient include history of immuno suppression, family history of Furunculosis, history of contact sports, history of close contact, and recent travel.
Common symptoms of the boil include firm, red, and painful bump with pus filled head.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory study which is consistent with the diagnosis of boils include the pus culture.
Imaging Findings
X ray may be performed to detect internal abscess and osteomyelitis.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies of boils include blood analysis, urine analysis, and biopsy.

- Pilonidal cyst
- Anthrax
- Herpetic whitlow,

Primary prevention
- Effective measures for primary prevention of boils include hand washing, antibacterial soaps, maintain proper hygiene (hand sanitizers, antiseptic washes), avoid close contact (homeless shelters, military, prisons).
Secondary prevention
- Secondary prevention strategies following boils are warm moist compresses on the boil, hand washing, and proper wound care.
