      A boil consists of a red, swollen area surrounding a pocket of white blood cells mixed with bacteria and proteins, a mixture commonly called pus. Pressure builds up as the boil grows, becoming very painful. In most cases, the boil will open and discharge the pus spontaneously. In severe cases, it may be necessary to lance the boil. Boils occur most commonly on the buttocks, face, neck, armpits and shoulders. When one appears on an eyelid, it is called a sty.
