Boils themselves are not contagious, but the bacteria that cause boils are. Until it drains and heals, an active skin boil is contagious. The infection can spread to other parts of the person's body or to other people through skin-to-skin contact or the sharing of personal items.
Bacteria. Most skin boils are caused a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus (staph). Staph lives on the surface of normal skin and usually doesn't cause any problems. A tiny scratch or cut can let the bacteria in, though, and allow it to grow more than usual.radually, an area of the skin over the boil will thin and then rupture, allowing the pus to drain out. The pus is yellow or green and often smells foul. Boils can appear almost anywhere on the skin. They occur more often on hairy parts of the body, where the infection may begin in a hair follicle.
