Can a person get a boil/cyst on her face?!


Question: I heard you can. Right now there's this HUGE bump below my left eye, & it hurts. I've tried hot compresses, rubbing alcohol, & witch hazel. This is the biggest facial bump I've ever in my life had.

Yes it is possible. I had a big boil on my face about 6 years ago. It was horrible!!! I went to my doctor, they did some skin test and found out I had a staph infection. Staphylococcus areus is a normal bacteria found on your skin. Normally your immune system fights it off but when your immune system isn't working well the bacteria takes over. It creates big boils on your skin. You might have this. All you need is some topical antibiotics and it should go away in 2 to 3 days.

It's possible.
Just leave it alone for now.
If it gets worse~ doctors are nice.
:]

iv gotton cysts in my ear, which is kinda close, so why not?

if nothing works, go to a dermatologist

yes, google boil and see what it says about making a tumeric poultice.

yes you can, if it gets really big - you may have to see a dermatologist to get it drained & to get a prescription to help the infection.

YES. Use a hot compress to bring it to a head. DO NOT TRY TO POP IT!!! Once it's comes to a head (white on the top). Try applying benzoil peroxide. AGAIN, DO NOT TRY TO POP IT UNLESS YOU WANT A DANDY SCAR!!!!!

Boils can occur anywhere on your skin, but appear mainly on your face, neck, armpits, buttocks or thighs
