Overview
Natural History
Complications
- Abscess of the skin, spinal cord, brain, kidneys, or other organ
- Brain infection
- Endocarditis
- Osteomyelitis
- Permanent scarring
- Sepsis
- Spinal cord infection
- Spread of infection to other parts of the body or skin surfaces
Prognosis
- For most cases, there are no serious complications and a full recovery is expected.
- Some people have repeated abscesses and are unable to prevent them.
- Boils can be very painful if they occur in areas like the ear canal or nose. A health care provider should treat boils of the nose.
- Boils that form close together may expand and join, causing a condition called carbunculosis.
