My husband gets boils on his bottom all the time that drain. He has done all the things that the doctor has told him to prevent them from popping up. Some one told us of something he could take but it has been discontinued. I was wondering if there was an herb or anything that he could take. He was told that the boils popping up could be from blood impurities. Thank for any help.

Hey their, I suffer from face boils I cant them like daily and they are nasty as hell, ive been givin pills from doctors which work to a degree but when blood starts to come out of them its really disgustine.

U can try hot compresses on the boils and also u can add salt water to it and then dab away on the boil. Do that several times a day and also u can try cold compresses to take away the redness.
