Answers:
Sounds like a puss filled cyst to me!. Get to the doctor and they should clean it out with a local anesthetic & give you some antibiotics to clear up the infection, otherwise you could land up with a scar, it could spread and if it got bad enough the infection can cause blood poisoning!. Anything on your head is priority importance because it's so close to your brain!. It's nothing to do with being dirty, often a blocked hair folicle can become infected and cause a boil or cyst like this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Did your boil ever get well!? I mean, between eruptions!?

The treatment for boils is to have them lanced and possibly packed!. This is called and "I & D" (stands for incision and drainage)!.

They often won't resolve until properly taken care of, as you are learning!.

Last thing: most people with recurring boils should be checked for diabetes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ahh! What are you doing asking US!?! Go to a doctor! It's probably the staph infection! It's HIGHLY contagious and antibiotic resistant! My cousin was recently diagnosed with it after suffering from boils for months!. He was nearly hospitalized!. Go, go, go! See a doctor ASAP!Www@Answer-Health@Com
