I've gotten boils on my upper back from this crap a couple of times. I couldn;t afford to go to a clinic,so I ended up cutting them open myself. They still left shallow craters when they healed.

I moved about a year and a half ago, and have had no issues with it since-so it must have been something in the enviornment at the old place.

The few times I've had them I used tea bags. Very hot tea bags as a poultice, it is said that the tannic acid draws the icky stuff (yeah don't I sound all adult lol) and it has seemed to work well for me.I've also used tea bags for styes.

I used ordinary black tea, I don't know if the tannic acid levels vary by tea but you could always Google it.

here are two pics...they're a lot better :)

Sometimes, some things are just too much information. There is a saying that goes something like, "women are more attractive when there is a little mystery about them." That pretty much means you don't have to tell all/show all, but just enough to get the information you desire. Didn't you get that information prior to posting pictures?
