Boils Part 2 (Teacher: Michael)

Traditionally it is often thought boils need to be covered with special pastes in order to draw them. Personally, I think only useful and necessary treatment is warmth. Put wrapped hot water bottle over dressed boil, and not only will boil be encouraged to burst, but pain will be relieved. Once boil has burst, all you need to do is change dressing, being careful to burn each old dressing as quickly as you can, and to wash skin round boil with soapy water, or water into which little antiseptic has been poured. Boils are very infectious. They are made up of bacteria and dead cells.

If someone in your family suffers from recurrent boils, then it is possible one member of family is acting as carrier. nose swab from each member of family is usually good idea. organisms responsible for boils often live in nostrils. Anyone who gets lots of boils should have his urine tested for sugar, since diabetes is condition which can make development of boils more likely.

Get medical advice about boil if it is very large or very painful, or doesn't look like bursting itself. You should also see doctor if red lines appear on skin around boil, since these may suggest infection is spreading.
