Boils That Appear Nose/chin Area Constantly??
Posted: 01-02-04 16:28pm

Hey all, iam a 20 year old male from uk and around 2 years ago I used to get these painful red boils that would appear on my cheek bone area only and would look nasty and be painful as hell, I went to the doctor and he gave me a creme and some pills that cleared it up but left me with red scares on my cheek bones.....Now months later ive not got any on my cheek bones like I used to get but now I always tend to get red boils on my nose and I mean right at the tip of my nose or either on the side and when I get one I always tend to get at least 3-4 at a time and ive been givin a zinc gel to use which helped to a degree and now iam learning about the hot compresses to help the boil come to a head but I will try the salt water next and see what happends but has anyone got any advice for me or somthing I could try?? I would be so gratful and iam going to doctors on tuesday and iam gonna demand I see someone who can test me body and blood cause iam sick of this.


Thanks all :d

Here are a couple of home remidies you can try....I have a son with the same thing and this was gramm's advise to him....It worked....It's called a "poltus" use very hot milk and a piece of white bread....Just a little bigger then the spot...Soak the bread and squeeze the extra milk out..And place it on the spot with a bandage...Over night...Come morning it will have brought up to the surface what ever is inside..When you peel of the bandage it will pop...It's a little painful but clears it up really fast...That night put on a second poltus made with brown sugar and the soggy part of bar soap....Mix it really well...This one heals what the other one pulled out...

oooo thanks for them tips and I will try them, one more thing when u say use bread do u mean hold the bread on the boil with bandage over it? Or just dab it and then cover the boil up with bandage alone? And what u mean soggy part of soap u just mean get some soap mixed with brown suger and then just apply to boil rite and cover up?? Thanks sorry I just got to be sure b4 I try anything.

Thank u.
