Overview
Common risk factors in the development of boil(furuncle) include immunosupression, malnutrition, coexisting skin conditions and poor hygiene
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of boil(furuncle) include:
Common risk factors
- 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, military barracks, homeless shelters, prison
- Recent travel
