Diagnosis
from:Your primary care doctor can diagnose a boil by visual examining your skin.
But sometimes they take a sample of pus to check for the type of bacteria it contains.
In some cases involving recurrent boils on the face, the doctor may need to consider acne as a possible diagnosis.
If you have frequent recurrences of boils within a short period of time, your doctor may do blood tests to check for diabetes or other medical conditions that can increase your risk of repeated infections.
Your doctor can make a culture from pus taken from the boil or carbuncle to confirm the
diagnosis of a staphylococcal infection.
