Ok, so for the past week, Oni has gotten 2 boils on her butt. I know that they spread VERY easily, and CAN get out of control.
They start off as TINY little pimples, then morph into these GINORMOUS boils.
One of my good friends gave me a HUUGE box of size 6 diapers. And we decided to use them NOW, as opposed to keeping them until she fit them.
They were Huggies(the brand she NORMALLY uses) and fit her REALLY good. Well, we ran out, and went and bought her size 5's. The DAY that we put her back in the TIGHT A S S 5's, she started getting the bumps/boils.
Also, it seems, that as SOON as she ran out of her vitamins, these boils appeared about a week or so later.
Now, I know boils can be caused by a staph infection, OR an immune deficiency. She's not running ANY sort of fever, so I'm thinking staph is NOT the cause.
I'm not one to RUN to the Dr as soon as something odd comes up. So I'm trying to figure out how to treat this WITHOUT medical intervention.
I'm on my way to get her larger diapers, medicated cream, epsom salts(for frequent baths-to prevent swelling and encourage it to come to a head), and vitamins.
If anyone has ANY other treatments, I'm all ears!!
