Prognosis

  • For most cases, there are no serious complications and a full recovery is expected.
  • Some people have repeated abscesses and are unable to prevent them.
  • Boils can be very painful if they occur in areas like the ear canal or nose. A health care provider should treat boils of the nose.
  • Boils that form close together may expand and join, causing a condition called carbunculosis.
