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.
Boils may be caused by a weakened immune system. When a child's immune system is weak, his body is unable to resist the attack of bacteria that cause boils. Children who suffer from repeated attacks despite taking precautions to not become infected with boils need to have their blood tested.
