What Are Boils, Cysts & Styes?

Boils, cysts, and styes are common skin issues often resulting from infections or blocked glands:

  • Boils are painful, pus-filled swellings that occur when sweat glands or hair follicles become infected.
  • Cysts are usually non-infectious, fluid-filled sacs that develop beneath the skin or within sebaceous glands.
  • Styes appear as red, tender lumps on the eyelid, typically caused by clogged oil glands.

These conditions can affect people of all ages and frequently appear in areas subject to friction, such as the face, neck, underarms, and thighs. Without proper treatment, they can become more severe, leading to increased pain, swelling, and even secondary infections.

Signs & Symptoms of Boils, Cysts & Styes

Recognizing the symptoms of these conditions is key to getting timely and effective treatment:

  • Boil: A tender, red bump that swells and gradually fills with pus, often becoming increasingly painful.
  • Cyst: A smooth, round lump beneath the skin that is typically painless but may become irritated or inflamed over time.
  • Stye: A red, sore swelling on the eyelid, often accompanied by eye irritation, tearing, or a gritty sensation.
