I have a boil that keeps returning.?!


Question:

I have a boil that keeps returning.?

I have a boil that keeps returning on my inner thigh. It does not look like it needs medical care but I am troubled that it has returned for the third time. It has drained each time and just keeps on coming back. I don't have Diabetes or High Blood Pressure so I don't know why it just won't heal. I am not on any kind of meds.Should I worry about staph infections. I have a cousin that just died from staph infection and I am getting a little worried.


Answers:

You need to consult your doctor because it should not keep coming back and you could well need antibiotics after it has drained. Submerging in a hot bath and finding the head of the boil and using a sterilized needle to puncture it and drain the boil is best but then you need a course of antibiotics. It's not something you want to mess with. If you can't do it yourself get the doc to handle.
