How can I fight recurring boils??!
Question: Over the past couple of years, I have had recurring boils surface over my body. At first it was under my bra line on either of my sides. Then I got one on my butt cheek. Then I got one on my upper rear of my thigh. Last year i started getting them in the outer vaginal area. I dont know what is going on. The only thing I think to blame it on is the fact that I went thru a LapBand procedure 2 yrs ago. What am I doing wrong. I told my LapBand nurse about my suspicions of the cause and she said that the LapBand would not cause the outbreaks. Can someone please help me! I don't have the funda available to be going to the doctor each and every time I have a break out. Currently, I have 3 separate boild going. 2 on the outer parts of the vaginal area, and 1 on the inner part of my thigh. They are very painful and are reaking havoc in my life! How can I get rid of these once and for all with out the visit to the doctor. (I wont be insured until end of Feb--just started new job)... thanks

You need an antibiotic (so an MD is needed) Be sure you keep them clean with clean (hot) compresses - and wash them off with peroxide and apply an antibiotic ointment - every time you add a compress (warm) know that it can spread -
The bacteria in the boil would best respond to a 'script by an MD so get there if you still have them as soon as you get insurance.
See a Doctor
I had these once..............finally the doctor lanced one and really got out the core...cut it out.
That stopped any recurrances.
