I've had reoccurring boils right at the
base of my tailbone, (right where your
buttcheeks begin) for a while now but
nothing very painful and they usually went
away within a day or so. This time its
much much worse. I have a much larger
and more painful one in the same spot as
the others. I bought some ichthammol
ointment but have only used it once so
far. I also heard that campho phenique
helps them too. I was just wondering if
this thing will eventually go away on its
own because I don't wanna have to go to
the doctor to get rid of it. Is there
anything else I can do to make it go away,
(i'm a college student living in the dorms
so I only have access to certain things).
If anyone can recommend anything to treat
this damn thing and make it go away as
soon as possible that would be great
because I can't even drive or sleep or sit
without it hurting me terribly. Please
help!

So I don't have a carbuncle or abscess or
whatever the hell those things are called
then? Its just a boil for sure? I mean
I asked my sister because she's always had
a problem with boils under her arms and
she said thats what it is even though you
can't see it very well because of where it
is. Its just so painful, almost
unbearably (i do have a very low tolerance
for pain though, haha) I just want it
gone as soon as possible!
