Overview
Common risk factors in the development of boils (furuncles) include immunosupression, malnutrition, coexisting skin conditions, and poor hygiene.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of boils include:
- Obesity
- Sports
- Athletes participating in contact sports and using shared equipment
- Malnutrition
- Coexisting skin conditions
- Staphylococcal carriers[1]
- Most common site: anterior nares[2][3]
- Poor hygiene
- People living in close contact
- Low socioeconomic status
- living in military barracks, homeless shelters, or prison
- Recent travel
