Các triệu chứng của nhọt
The boil evolves in 5 to 10 days:
- it begins with the appearance of a painful, hot and red nodule (= a ball), about the size of a pea;
- it grows and fills with pus which can reach, although rarely, the size of a tennis ball;
- a white tip of pus appears (= swelling): the boil pierces, the pus is eliminated and leaves a red crater which will form a scar.
In the case of anthrax, that is to say the occurrence of several contiguous boils, the infection is more important:
- agglomeration of boils and inflammation of a large area of skin;
- possible fever;
- swelling of the glands
Những người có nguy cơ
Anyone can develop a boil, but some people are at greater risk, including:
- Men and adolescents;
- People with type 2 diabetes;
- People with a weakened immune system (immunosuppression);
- People suffering from a skin problem that promotes infections (acne, eczema);
- Obese people (obesity);
- Patients treated with corticosteroids.
Yếu tố nguy cơ

- thiếu vệ sinh;
- repeated rubbing (clothes that are too tight, for example);
- small wounds or stings on the skin, which become infected;
- mechanical shaving.
