Boil Infection Staph
Boil infection staph may affect liver problems and hepatitis.
Abscesses are infections of the skin by staphylococcal bacterium. Abscesses usually appear on the face, neck, or arms and sometimes on the buttock or breast. The infections most commonly start from bacteria in the hair follicles. However, an infection can begin on the skin at any part of the body that has an injury that breaks the skin. The bacteria that causes the abscess infection is contagious and it may be present on the skin and penetrate the skin at the point of injury. The abscess can cause a severe pain, with tenderness, pus in the center and a feeling of fluid in the area. The skin must be kept clean to keep the abscess from infecting the surrounding area, which if infected could develop into a dangerous condition of cellulite. A severe abscess can be successfully treated by a doctor who can lance the abscess and drain the pus. All pus must be removed from the abscess but if there is a small remainder the doctor can remove it with a salt solution. If the abscess is completely free of all pus, no further treatment will be necessary. If the abscess is near the nose, it should not be lanced. Instead the doctor should treat it with oral antibiotics to protect brain infection.
