What would happen if you poured hydrogen peroxide on an open boil? Would it suck the yuck out like it does on a open wound? Will it hurt like a SOB?? Seriously?!

It would bubble, make sure that the peroxide is room temp. Another way to get rid of a boil is 'drawing salve' available @ the drug store. A hot, wet shot glass pressed top-side down encircling the boil held for 5 minutes before letting up creates a vaccum that also will draw the pus out. Whatever you do though...DO NOT SQUEEZE. Squeezing seems like it helps, but it acutally spreads them into more open pockets & pores.

You can pour or dab peroxide on minor cuts and scratches to kill infection. On boils, I'm not sure, but it wouldn't hurt to dab a little bit on first. However, best to get advice from a doctor.
