how to cure boils?

Answer 1

Small boils will often heal themselves within 10-15 days, if no other infection or illness is present in the body. However, many boils do require treatment. Boils can usually safely be treated at home. Remember, if a boil fails to respond to treatment or symptoms become increasingly worse, you should seek your doctor's attention.


PREVENT spreading boils to other areas of your body by using fresh towels or disposable paper towels with each treatment and washing. Also, wash hands immediately after touching the boil. Cross-contamination is often worse than the original boil.


TAKE hot showers at least twice daily, instead of baths. The added heat and moisture will help the boil to open and drain on its own. Baths tend to spread bacteria to other areas of skin.


APPLY warm water heat to the boil using warm or heated cloths or a hot water bottle. This can be done 3-4 times daily for up to 20-minutes at a time.


OVER-THE-COUNTER pain medications can be used for painful boils.


TAKE Vitamin C during boil treatments to help boost the immune system.


DRAWING salves, particularly natural or herbal varieties, can be applied after heat therapy to draw the infection away from the body. Apply salves after a hot water treatment or shower and cover the area with cotton gauze.


Once heat has been applied for several days in a row, the boil's outer coating of skin will appear thinner. This most often means the boil is getting ready to drain. DO NOT pop a boil. Popping a boil will only contaminate surrounding skin. Instead, apply a clean, cotton bandage or gauze pad over the boil before bedtime. This will allow the boil to drain naturally, exposing only a small amount of skin to the bacteria. After the boil drains, wash the area thoroughly and cover with a bandage or cotton gauze three times daily or until the area has healed completely. Not covering the boil after drainage has occurred may cause reinfection to the same hair follicle or skin area.

There was a product that you used to be able to buy called PRID. I used to buy at a Wal Mart pharmacy. It is a drawing salve. You put it on the boil, and then a bandage over the top, and it draws the boil to a head and "heals" it. My husband has used it several times.

Seriously... What I did was pop it. THen used neosporin. Then jumped in the ocean for an hour or two. Laid in the sun. Jumped back in and then went to bandage it up. Trust me, there is no pain like popping a boil, but use precautions like sanitation. It all will work. Or you just give it time. See a doctor.!!! The ocean heals all.

Furuncles (boils) are tender nodules caused by staphylococcal infection. Carbuncles are clusters of furuncles connected subcutaneously, causing deeper suppuration and scarring. They are smaller and more superficial than subcutaneous abscesses. Diagnosis is by appearance. Treatment is warm compresses and often oral antistaphylococcal antibiotics.
Please see the web pages for more details on Boils, Furuncles and Carbuncles (Bacterial skin infections).
