Why do I keep getting big bumps (boils?) on my body?

Question

You con't pop them. They get as big as they want. The whole area around them stays sore untill it's gone. When it get's real big you can put hot water on it, then squeeze. White puss comes out then blood. It leaves a black circle mark after it goes down after about 2 weeks. Anyone know what this is and how to rid? Someone told me to take a laxative but that didnt work. They still come back. This just started to happen a couple months ago and I am 25. Please help!!!

Answer 1

You have a skin infection baby. You need to go to a doctor. He/She will put you on an antibiotic. Some people are just more susceptible to boils than others. Like my daughter who's only 1. She gets boils & her doctor puts her on antibiotics and it clears them up before they even get a head. They go right away and don't even leave a mark. When you pop them it makes the infection spread. That's why doctors lance them and drain them in the hospital. So there is no chance that it spreads. If you use antibiotic before they come to a head they will go away on there own. It does not matter how clean you are; if you get them you just do. They say it could be a number of reasons such as: low imune system, low iorn, bactira. or staff inffection.

Boil-
A boil (furuncle) is a red, swollen, painful bump under the skin caused by an infected hair follicle. Bacteria from the infection forms a pocket of pus (abscess), which can become large and cause severe pain.

Boils occur most often on the face, neck, breasts, buttocks, in the groin area, and in the armpits. Depending on their size and location, many boils can be treated at home with warm compresses and by keeping the skin over the boil clean when it opens and drains. A health professional may need to treat large boils and boils on the face or near the spine or anal area to avoid more serious infections.

I'm nurse and I'm advising you to go and see your Doctor ASAP. You indeed have some type of infection in your system and I don't need to tell you how extremely dangerous this is. A young man had a large boil on his stomach...finally decided to come to the ER. Was admitted with plans of being operated on the next morning to clean it out and start a treatment of antibiotics. Sad to say he didn't even make it through the night. The infection inside the boil spread throughout his system and he became septic. He was 33 years old!!! You are playing a dangerous game and you are going to end up losing. Please go and get some help. take care of yourself.

Answer 5

you probably should head to the doctor...but I did find this page in the mean time...seems like campho phenique may provide some relief, also parsley packed on to it under gauze, these are two separate recommendations that other people have used. The methods do not recommend lancing yourself. But if you have been suffering from them a lot having a few home methods to try between doctor visits may give some relief. good luck

Answer 6

Boils are contagious. You need to make sure that everything that has come into contact with the boil has been disinfected.

I'll give you an example. One of my football team mates had a boil on the back of his neck and he wore a horse collar (pad worn around the back of the neck). When he had his boil lanced and he sat out a game, he let someone else borrow his horse collar. That person who borrowed the horse collar got a boil on the back of his neck about one week later.

Hung in there, you'll get through this.
Good Luck and Godspeed.
