How do you know when a boil is forming?!
Question: Well, I have got this "volcano" on my thigh, and it's raised and purple, like a volcano and the middle is black. The surface around it is a little tough. Is it a boil? Please tell me how to identify boils!?

Until you can get to a doctor. Look up symptoms on Mayo Clinic site.
If RED STREAKS appear from sore/wound......
GO directly to the closest EMERGENCY ROOM.
That can be very serious signs of major infection.
boils are usually painful , like throbing intesse pain , then it erupts and the pain gose away
I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean or over weight and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there if you are looking.
