Home remedy:  Bacon fat.  That's one my grandfather passed down to me but I've heard it numerous times over the years.  Take a slice of bacon, the more fat the better and place it over the boil.  Depending on where the boil is you may need to put a bandage over it to hold it in place.  Also... a few good soaks in a hot bath will help bring it to a head.  There are cheap over the counter ointments you can use.  \n\nGood luck! I know boils can be very painful.\n\nRod.

When I was a little girl I used to get boils often. My mother would get a washcloth and soak it in very hot water then cover the boil. She would do that several times. That seemed to make it go away. It would shrink under the heat.

Most boils run their course within 4 to 10 days. For most people, self-care by applying a warm compress or soaking the boil in warm water can help alleviate the pain and hasten draining of the pus (colloquially called "bringing the boil to a head"). Once the boil drains, the area should be washed with antibacterial soap and bandaged well.\n\nFor recurring cases, supplement your diet with Vitamin A and E.\n\nFor serious cases, prescription oral antibiotics such as dicloxacillin (Dynapen) or cephalexin (Keflex), or topical antiboitics, are commonly used. For patients allergic to penicillin-based drugs erythromycin (E-base, Erycin) may also be used.

1. Wash daily with warm water and soap (doesn't have to be disinfectant)\n2. Change dressings at least daily or more often if draining.\n3. Warm moist compresses are beneficial. (Place a moist wash cloth in a baggie, place in microwave for about a minute, then wrap with a 2nd damp/moist towel and place over the wound.\n4. Avoid squeezing.\n5. Keep clean and covered.\n6. Keep taking antibiotic until script all gone.\n7/ checkwith your doctor if surrounding area redness, the drainage has a nasty odor or drainage or discomfort increases.

First and most importantly, don't pop the boil yourself. It could get infected and cause way more trouble than you're prepared to deal with. Boils, just like pimples, are the body's way of excreting toxins and waste through the skin. The appearance of a boil usually means that there are more toxins in your body than normal and they need to be expelled. You need to deal with this boil and then begin to naturally treat your body to avoid future eruptions. There are a couple of links below that may help you choose a homeopathic remedy but for IMMEDIATE relief, you might want to see a doctor so that they can lance the boil. But keep in mind that lancing boils is painful and because of the puncturing of the skin before the boil has completely matured will most likely cause the bacteria to be pushed deeper into the skin therefore ensuring that it will reappear, maybe with more boils to accompany it. So that being said, you need to be sure bring the boil to a head. The second link gives great advice about how to treat a boil. For future reference though, taking vitamins daily to boost your immune system (multivitamin, echinacea, vitamin C, and vitamin B complex), drinking lots of water, and healthy eating will help your body fight off infection and expel wastes in a healthier (and less painful) way. Good luck!

Hello,\n\nI'll keep this short...Boil are caused for numerous reasons.\n\nHygiene could be one of them, boils are laos contagious for example if a person burst out the boil and doesn't take care of it like cleaning and putting a plaster on it, it wcould transfer to someone else...i didn't believe that but since speaking to a doctor and a dermatologist i reconsidered. \n\nThe natural stuff that i know works are\nturmeric powder\ngarlic\nvitamin a\nvitamin e\n\n......if u are pressed for time try some antibiotic may be topical as in a cream or a pill....but i think only docotrs can prescribe antibiotics....\n\nHope it helps...

You can get a boil wherever there's a hair follicle.  \nIf you're brave you can go get it lanced and drained by a doctor.  When I first got married my creep of a husband broke out in them from nerves and passed them around to everyone in the families.  I never had one lanced.  If you can bear the pressure, when it comes to a nasty enough head, with a clean cotton cloth or heavy tissue, don't squeeze it, but push down into your skin around it and pull away from it.  When it's 'ripe' it will drain, and if it's a big one, have towels ready.  After it's drained, clean it with hydrogen peroxide and cover it with and gauze bandage until it starts to heal and can't be passed on to anyone else.  \nYou'll feel weak after draining a big one, not to worry, just lay down and drink some water, you'll be just fine.

Get rid of the cause and you get rid of the boils.  Eat more green vegetables.  Boil plasters work but if you are not careful they will leave a scar.  The old fashioned method was to heat a milk bottle, then place the open end over the boil and let it cool.  As it does it draws the pus from the boil.  It too can leave a scar.........

Stop worrying.  It most likely is a cyst.  Your doctor if your are concerned enough will probably get an ultrasound of the area.  And Friday is okay.  If it is really upsetting up, see the doctor sooner.  I know how it is to have something occupy your mind like this.  We all have a tendency to think the worst but in reality its probably nothing.  If seeing the doctor earlier will reassure you then see the doc earlier.  No need to loose sleep  over it.

If indeed it is a Cyst, there is absolutely nothing he or you can do.\n\nThere are 3 types of cysts:\n\nLiquid Filled: these are usually on the surface of your skin, face, (Or ACNE). These can be popped, but will leave a scar if you do.\n\nSolid: These are just minor infections and go away after a while. \n\nAir Filled: These are a little more dicey. They often grown on the INSIDE of your body, such as nervous systems, blood streams, etc. They will usually go away from 2 - 8 weeks. However, if this persists, surgery MAY be needed.\n\nCysts aren't the end of the world. They are aggravating, but you won't die from it.\n\nHope this helps.

He needs antibiotics, ASAP.  He may need to have it drained as well.  Boils can not be cured with over-the-counter preparations or herbal remedies.  Warm compresses may help it come to a head and drain quicker.

If you are willing to do it, buy some ginger root cut it up and smash it with a heavy pan, tie it up in cheese cloth or a clean rag. Put it in a pot of water and let it heat up, just when you see bubbles form like its about to boil turn the stove off, you don't want it to boil. Then take two clean rags leave one dry and dip the other into the water. Place the hot rag over the dry one so you can still feel the heat from the rag but not on your naked skin.Keep doing that till you get relief
