There is an over the counter drug called boil-eze

I have heard that boils around the body (arm pit, inner thighs, back) should be washed (while in the shower) with iodine. This was information from a Dermatologist. Apparently you should was with iodine in those areas (where you get boils) even if you don't have one (once a week) to keep them from coming back.

An old country doctor told me to put a piece of bacon fat on it and cover with a manage for 24hrs, it works, try it.

The best treatment I've found is hot compresses soaked with water and epsom salts.

Take Echinacea to boost your immune system- one dropperful every few hours for ten days, then five days off, then take for another ten days.

Honey is a strong antibiotic and has been used to treat boils for centuries. Mix with a small amount of flour and apply. It will bring the boil to a head.

Once the boil comes to a head, rinse out the pus and apply a few cloves of mashed garlic with sterile gauze.

extra virgin coconut oil is amazing for everything I would give that a try.
