well boils can be cause by a couple of thing.
1. an ingrown hair
2.an insect bite
i had a boil on my leg and got a swab done and turns out it was from a spider bite.
whatever you do dont squeeze it cause it spreads the infection. if possible put a bandaide on it when it forms a head so if it pops you dont get puss everywhere. the best thing to do is see a doctor to give you a cream and tablets.
