Answer 3

boils are red, pus-filled lumps that are tender, warm, and/or painful. A yellow or white point at the center of the lump can be seen when the boil is ready to drain or discharge pus. In a severe infection, multiple boils may develop and the patient may experience fever and swollen lymph nodes. Pimples are just a big puss filled oil gland filled with dirt. you'l know if you have a boil because it won't just be big, it will be really big and hurt almost all of the time, unlike a pimple that hurts primarly when you touch it.
