A boil is a type of super zit, and will respond to hot moist compresses put on it. Just get a clean washcloth and dampen it, then heat it in the microwave until it’s as hot as you can stand it. Put that right on the spot and hold it until it’s lukewarm. Repeat that as often as you can, as hot as you can take it. You don’t need tumeric, oil, or any other potions. It is localized in the spot by your own immune system, and when the fight is won, the immune system will force it all to the surface and drain it all by itself. When it begins to drain, you can apply gentle pressure along the sides, straight down towards the bone- with fresh washed hands. The drainage will smell pretty awful, but it will feel immensely better once it drains itself. With heat packs it can take a day or so to drain itself, so be patient. Don’t pick, prod or squeeze it at all- no matter what. If you do that, you may break it beneath the skin and simply spread the infection to a wider area, making a small problem much worse and much bigger. When you are not applying heat packs, and once it begins to drain, keep it covered with a clean bandage. Change the bandage at least once or twice a day, each time wash your hands before and after cleaning the area and putting on a new dressing. Do not touch the spot and then touch other parts of you- you can spread the bacteria to a new spot. Honestly, hot soaks should be all you need. If it doesn’t drain itself in about a week, then you will need to see a doctor to have it incised and drained, and then antibiotics will usually be prescribed. In you can convince it to drain by itself with the heat, it will heal faster and not leave a scar. The procedure with the doctor will take longer to heal and quite possibly leave a scar. Until it heals, wear all cotton undies, and try to avoid snug clothing as much as you can. No potions though- your skin doesn’t need them. It can handle the problem all on it’s own, and aside from the moist heat pack, doesn’t really appreciate any other aid.

Does anyone know of any great home remedies for skin boils?
I have a boil on my left thigh near my buttocks and I’ve heard antiboitics don’t work. I’ve heard that tumeric powder and hot wash cloths applied to the area work the best. Has anyone tried that or does anyone know of any other home remedies?
