Risens and boils are known as abscess,It can be caused from immflamation of hair follicles,or from minor breaks or punctures of the skin,most often an abscess becomes a painful compressible mass that is red,warm to the touch and tender,as abscess progresses.it may come to a head.Pustular drainage and spontaneous rupture may occur,most abscesses will get worse without care and proper incision and drainage,it can spread into deeper tissue and even into the bloodstream,if the infection spreads fever,nausea,and increasing pain can develop, to care for it at home you need to apply warm compresses to area for about 30 minutes ,four times daily. Do not attempt to drain it by pressing on it ,this can push the infected material into the deeper tissues,do not stick a needle or other sharp instruments into the abscess because it may injure an underlying blood vessel or cause the infection to spread. If you start running fever you need to go to the doctor office..

They are a big Hugh bump, that is full of puss and blood. Some people call them boils. It usually take about a week or so for them to get rip enough to bust. In the mean time they hurt and it gets worse until they bust. When they bust they are full of blood and puss.It is such a relief when they bust. I have them a lot. I have asked many doctors what caused them, and they really don't have an answer. Sometimes I have had to go to to doctor to get them lanced. That is cutting them open to let them drain. I am 61 and have had them since I was a teenager. I sure would like to know what caused them. My son also has them. I think they are heriterary.

Well bacteria causes risen I have been researching the causes and that is what all of them mainly said. My mother told me to sit in a hot bath as hot as I can stand it, and then the skin will soften and you will be able to break it!
