If it is a boil (which are common wherever
there are hair follicles), then u may want
to get it looked at by a doctor. In the
mean time...Do not sueeze it!!! Put warm
compresses on the area...The heat will
help to start breaking the puss up.
Aslo, put honey (i know, sounds weid, and
gross, but trust me it works) on the boil,
and let sit for several minutes. Do a
warm compress again after the honey. Do
this several times during the day, and
chances are by evening, the boil will be
ready to start oozing. Pull the skin
away from the boil to see if it wil
pop...Do not squeeze..Gently pull the skin
away. If stuff comes out, great, if not,
continue the hot compress and honey. Just
dab the icky stuff with a tissue (its
really nasty and gross...Green and yellow
stuff...Super nasty, so beware) whatever
you do, do not use anything with an
alcohol base (ie rubbing alcohol) because
that will seperate the puss under the
skin, and make it worse by spreading.
Also, keep polysporne on and around the
boil. This will help prevent further
spread as boils are highly contagious.
Good luck. These things hurt like hell.
I have had 2 before...They are gross and
really really sore. The sooner it is
taken care of, the better.
my
son has two pimple/boils on his head.
His hair is covering
