How does staph bacteria get into the nose and a boil develop?
A person can be a carrier of infections and not suspect it. Under suitable conditions (hypothermia, decreased general protective properties, exacerbation of any chronic pathology of the body, stress, increased physical activity, alcohol abuse) streptococci or staphylococci begin to manifest themselves.
The formation of a boil is facilitated by:
- Failure to observe personal hygiene rules
- Harmful production
- Hypothermia or overheating of the body
- Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
- Unbalanced nutrition with insufficient amounts of vitamins, minerals, microelements
- Endocrine diseases
- Reduced immunity
How does a nasal furuncle develop?
The initial acute stage of the disease is characterized by a feeling of discomfort in the vestibule area. Pain appears, which can be of varying intensity - from not too strong to unbearable. Often the pain intensifies at night. If the boil turns black in the middle, this indicates that the root of the boil has formed.
Characteristic symptoms:
- Hyperemia of the affected area
- Swelling
- Pain at the site of the lesion
- Pain when pressing
- Increased body temperature (systemic symptom)
A laboratory blood test may reveal toxemia.
In the next stage (purulent furuncle), if measures are not taken in time or the treatment was inadequate, the symptoms become more complicated. The following is diagnosed:
- Thrombus formation in the angular vein area (outwardly resembles a thickened cord)
- Increase in general body temperature to significant values
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Swelling of the eyelids, hyperemia of the mucous membrane of the eye, difficulty in moving the eyeballs, pain
- Deterioration of vision
- Bulging of the eye
If you do not receive qualified help, swelling of the optic nerves may occur, which leads to complete or partial paralysis of the eye muscle.

Symptoms of a nasal boil
A furuncle is a purulent formation on the hairy surface of the skin.
What does a furuncle look like? It is easy to detect the formation, but only in cases where an acute inflammatory process has formed at the junction of the lateral and inner walls (vestibule of the nose). The hair follicle can become inflamed directly on the inner or lateral walls, but the bottom of the cavity is often affected.
