Albert has an embarrassing problem with his backside this evening..........?!


Question: Ok, the old man is complaining about a boil on his backside (left cheek) Is there anything that he can put on it? I said i'd ask you lovely people on his behalf. I reluctantly had a look at it for him and it's very inflamed and red and looks sore. What can he do?

oh, now's your chance; lance it for him! find the sharpest knife in the box, then sharpen it a bit more. brandish it in front of his face first, then accidentally "slip" when you're near the target. tell him it's for his own good, but take the maximum pleasure from his pain. enjoy, diane.

sudo cream or some other kind of nappy rash cream

get a milk bottle...steam the edge of it over a boiling kettle n put it on the boil with the neck over the boil..this will draw it up n out..then bandage it up

Put a hot flannel on it to draw the puss out, gross i know, do this several times a day, it will work

Ok old wives tale for boils was bread soaked in boiling water and placed on boil , worked on the wrist when fishermen often got boils from the constant rubbing of oilskins on their lower arms , worth a try ?

hot bath and if it doesn't burst put on a HUGE plaster and I can guarantee it will have burst by the morning thus affording you both peace of mind not to mention you'll both be free from a pain in the a..e.

Sounds odd but apply some Vicks (the stuff you use for chest colds) and cover with a plaster. It seems to draw out the yuck.

Another country remedy that is reputed very effective is placing a cut potato on it. This should bring the boil to a head. My mother told me my father once used this remedy for her.

Alternately, I would try a finger of Aloe vera.

Good luck to you and your old man. :-)

I think he should get it checked by the Doc. It may just be a boil, then some of the above will help. If it's a trapped hair (very common in guys with hairy bottoms) then he may need antibiotics or the 'boil' probed/lanced.
Poor guy - I bet it hurts.

Best not to pierce it, can lead to infection. make the poor chap wait til morning, then get some magnesium sulphate from the pharmacy in the morning. make it into a paste and whack it on. It dries it up, its really good for boils, and its cheap too.

Dont know how bad it is but it sounds like it could be a Pilonidal sinus.Get it checked out with the Doctor. Dont want to frighten you, But my son had one and it required surgery.
