suggested by Peggy on Tuesday, July 3, 2007

I had a boil on the upper back of my leg. And I put the smallest piece of potato under a bandaid directly on the boil. Next morning, it was totally gone.

what helps

suggested by Belinda on Friday, June 29, 2007

I often get boils on my butt or bikini line. Prid salve does help and i buy it at walmart pharmacy. Black Herbal ointment available at health food stores also helps. You can also get an herb from health food stores called manoc shcaca and seep it into a tea which can be drank and applied directly to the boil on compresses. For the lady in her forties who says bikini line boils are the death of your sex life i'd like to say that I got lucky and got a boyfriend w/ a pantyhose fetish. You can buy crotchless ones or alter them yourself and get your sex life back! He never notices! But another tip on here says pantyhose gave her boils. I get them for no apparant reason, though and wear the pantyhose to keep them from embarrasing me or ruining my intimate life! Good luck!

Bacon Fat

suggested by Christy on Tuesday, May 15, 2007

My son gets skin boils on his knees quite often. I apply raw bacon fat, using gauze and tape to hold it in place. Leave it on overnight. The salt in the bacon fat acts as a drawing medicine and also relieves pain from pressure.

Softsoap remedies boils

suggested by Charles on Sunday, May 6, 2007

I found out by experimenting with Softsoap Hand Soap; Anti-bacterial - What you do is squirt straight up soap on the boil itself, then apply gauze or soft tolet paper to it. Then wrap it up with a ACE bandage. A few hours later remove the ACE bandage and the gauze and the infected hair follicle should pull out with the gauze and the dryed up pus which is acting as a dam too the boil. After the hair and dry pus dam is gone be prepared for some major oozing. After the white thick pus comes out clean with softsoap and apply some anti-biotic ointment and rewrap to prevent drainage of fluids from open boil.
