Boil, pimple, spider-bite or what?!
Question: Boil, pimple, spider-bite or what!?
My boyfriend has a "pimple" on his hip!. Kind of more on his outer thigh i guess!. It is huge and he tried to pop it but it just hurts really bad!. He popped it once and it bled but no pus came out!. A few days later he was in a warm shower and it popped on it own but more blood and very little pus and its still there!. We've been cleaning it and putting warm compresses on it!. The redness seems to be going away but it still hasn't went away!. And it hurts him to much to try to pop it!. What should we do or what do you think it is!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Its most likely a boil or a cyst!. A spider bite usually has a hole in the middle!. If he goes to a doctor they going to squeeze the crap out of it, give you some tylenol, and charge you $300!. Keep doing the warm compress thing!. it wont get smaller, but the puss will come to the top!. if you want to speed things up use a small slice of potato under a bandage, it draws the puss to the top!. A trick my Grandmother use to use!.
If you suspect a spider bite or if you notice light purplish lines that look like veins running from it, get to a doctor and get checked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay!. First of all, this will really hurt, but you need to press on the "pimple!."
If it's hard when you press on it, then it may be a spider bite!. In which case, you'd better take your boyfriend to a doctor ASAP!.
It's soft, then it's probably a boil!. While annoying and uncomfortable, they usually aren't dangerous!. Try putting a heating pad on it!. Alternatively, they sell black salves at most drugstores!. Once it pops, make sure to clean the spot and put a bandage over it!. The pus and blood that leaks out can cause other boils!. But if it doesn't go away after that, consult a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
