It serves to lubricate the hair and skin. In the place where the hair on the surface of the skin can produce inflammation - a small pimple with pus. And the appearance of boils, due to the penetration of infection in the hair follicle itself. The causative agents of such infections can be germs that got into the follicle through the skin. Please note that the appearance of small boils will often contribute to cracks or other damage on the skin. In addition, the boils can be a complication of other skin diseases (e.g. acne).
