I know that webmd is not always the most reliable source, but they go along with what I have heard about treating boils.

quote:

Boils occur most often on the face, neck, breasts, buttocks, in the groin area, and in the armpits. Depending on their size and location, many boils can be treated at home with warm compresses and by keeping the skin over the boil clean when it opens and drains. A health professional may need to treat large boils and boils on the face or near the spine or anal area to avoid more serious infections.

Playing youre so called boil tag can lead to permenant scaring. Rather than your family, seeing a Dr would be best so you can have the right medications, creams, and bandages needed to have the boils go away leaving as little scaring behind as possible. Other than that, knowing what caused the boils in the first place would be more helpfull for us to give you better advice and treatment options.

I had a history of boils for about 2 years. Finally went to the doctor and found out was carrying a staph infection. Have had a fairly strict hygene regimen to get rid of it along with antibiotics. If this is a chronic problem, you need to go to doctor and get it cleared up. My problem basically boiled down to staph in my skin pores. Has taken several months to get cleared up.

That staph infection stuff can be nasty.
I scractched and itchy spot on my leg and it was feeling "hot". I was treating it myself until the red line started traveling up my leg. It freaked me out, I went to the doc on a Friday afternoon, told him I had planned to wait it out the weekend. His response: "that would've landed you in the hospital stuck to an i.v.".
When in doubt with weird stuff, go to the doc.

edited for grammar, dammit

queen, you probably have something called "Hidradenitis Suppuritiva"....make sure you get to a dermatologist and ask specifically if this is what you have (its called HS)...you need to be correctly diagnosed and treated if you have it....there is some link between HS and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and insulin resistance, although men get HS as well. There is no cure for HS, but you should know your options.
Hope i've helped, and good luck.

I actually had that problem since i was young, but its pretty much gone away. The only thing that really helped me was keeping very clean and neosporin (dont think i spelled that right). Good luck.
