The Skin Boil Project: A Real-World Investigation into Recurrent Staph Infections

Help us better understand recurrent skin boils. This community study collects anonymous experiences from people affected by skin boils, abscesses, styes, and Staphylococcus aureus infections. By comparing treatments, recurrence, risk factors, and outcomes, we hope to identify patterns that may benefit others. Results and insights will be shared publicly as more data is collected.

Got a nose boil after waxing. Seems like everytime I wax my nostrils, it causes a boil. Have switched to nose hair trimmers. They took at least a week to heal up. Sometimes longer. Very painful.
