Boils Tea Tree
Boils:
A boil is a skin condition whereby pus collects under an oil gland or follicle caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. Boils are characterized by red, painful and hard swellings that soften and increases with size after a few days. Tiny cuts in the skin and hair follicles pave the way for bacteria to enter the body. Boils mostly appear on the armpits, neck, face, and buttocks. People with poor hygiene, low immunity, diabetes, and poor nutrition are most susceptible to skin infections.

Tree oil is theorized to be gentle on the skin and is popular for its wide range of capabilities when dealing with fungi, bacteria, and viruses that cause skin infections.
