Too Many Boils

Dear letterz,

i had quite a bad problems with pimples and boils when I was a teenager, I went to a dermatologist and they prescribed me with a 3 month course of roaccutane and it cleared it up in about 3 days, I am 29 now and still don't get any pimples or boils. I must warn you though, roaccutane is under the spotlight and it is claimed by medical experts that it causes all kinds of side effects that can last up to 15 years. I do suffer from anxiety which I take medication for, but I honestly couldn't tell you whether it is caused due to taking roaccutane. Talk to a dermatologist, there is probably something a lot safer that you can take to treat boils now days.

Good luck,

.::suzy::.

Thx suzy for the quick ressponse I just hope I find out what is going on. I've been stressed out for the past 5months. So some friends are saying it is due to stress. Thx again and god bless

If the boils outbreak isn't too serious, try using aloe vera plant. Simply cut off one of the leaves, slice it long ways, and use the juice and spread it over the boils a few times a day. It is especially helpful if you do it at the very beginning of an outbreak before it gets serious.

I had a bad outbreak of boils earlier this year. I got about 8 or 9 of them in a couple of months time, similar to the girl that started this post. They were very painful, and I would get 2 or 3 of them at a time. Squeeze one and another would pop up a few days later. I went to the doctor and they gave me an antibiotic, which did not work. Kept getting them. Went to the doctor again about a week and a half later, gave me another antibiotic (that cost $120 bucks!!) and that didn't work either. All the doctor was saying was that I had a deficiency and needed to eat better, etc. After that medication not working I was fed up and in pain. My dad, a purveyor of natural remedies, told me about the aloe vera. I was skeptical, but my god if it did not work. I was totally in awe. All the money I wasted on medication and doctor's visits, not to mention the pain.

As a side note, I got a stye in my eye right before this whole ordeal started, so I don't know if there is a link. Unfortunatly, I guess my health is still poor because I did get another boil recently, and didn't get to use the aloe vera in time before it swelled up pretty bad. Using aloe now, and it is helping. Found a link online of this all natural cream called biolanyn, supposed to help with a lot of skin disorders, even scarring. Might try that, and if anyone is interested, www.Biolanyn.Com hope this helps others.

if you have reoccurring boils it is possible you have hidradenitis suppurativa, this website will answer your questions.

Wow, so it seems iam anot alone with these cause I suffer from boils and I only get them on my face which to me is the worst! Ahhhhh and they are red,sore and painful as hell and ive taking many pills and creams that work to a degree. The doctors are full of caca if you ask me and ive learned alot online and I will try the honey wet compresses! I get my boills around the cheek bone and chin and nose area and they look so bright and red and me being light skinned does not help either.

Alot of people said it might be stress but iam a cool happy type guy so I just dont, I thought maybe it was cause iam still growing and I never had anything like this when I was younger so now its happening.

Thanks
