Anyone ever had these? Sweat sores?

Question

Every once in a while I'll get a bump, sometimes with puss inside, always painful, in areas where sweat collects over the day: between my thighs where they rub together, armpits, under my breasts, and under my fat roll (yeah, I said it...lol) on my sides at the breast level. Eventually they heal and go away but leave a red scar. How can I make these things go away quicker? They hurt!

Answer 1

I think what those are.....are boils.There is medication found at local drugstores which when applied will help.Ask a pharmacist for information on the product though.Even though the product may have information on it?....A pharmacist may have something to add.
You can call a doctors office and ask if what you have are actually boils.Some people have chronic cases and they may want to schedule an appointment for you to give you perscription strength medication.

Answer 2

I'm a larger woman (with fat rolls) and I find that if I frequently dry areas where sweat tends to collect, I avoid issues like this. I'll usually "wipe down" when I use the restroom. Sometimes, I go to the restroom specifically for this reason.

Answer 3

I heard old remedies from my grand mother who sais epsom salt baths are worth trying. Tree oil also has a lot of uses on the skin. There is a book that covers every ailment from A-Z naturally that can be found at any Library. "Natures Cures."
