What is boils in children?

Boils are caused by infections of the hair root or sweat pore. The wall of the gland keeps the infection in one place, so it does not spread into the surrounding skin. At first, the skin turns red in the area of the infection and a tender lump develops. After four to seven days, the lump starts turning white as pus. The most common places for boils are on the face, neck, armpits, shoulders, and buttocks. If the boil is formed on the eyelid, it is called a sty.
