Boil is a red, swollen, painful bump under the�skin. It often looks like an overgrown pimple. Boils are often caused by infected�hair�follicles. Bacteria from the infection form an�abscess, or pocket of pus. A boil can become large and cause severe pain. You can sometimes care for a boil at home. Do not squeeze, scratch, drain, or open the boil. Squeezing can push the infection deeper into the skin. Gently wash the area with soap and water twice a day. Dry it well. Put warm, wet cloths on the boil for 20 to 30 minutes, 3 or 4 times a day. Do this as soon as you notice a boil. The heat and moisture can help the boil to open and drain, but it may take 5 to 7 days. A warm compress or waterproof heating pad placed over a damp towel may also help. Keep using heat for 3 days after the boil opens. Put a bandage on it so the drainage does not spread. Change the bandage every day. If the boil is draining on its own, let it drain. Keep cleaning it twice a day with soap and water. To help keep the infection from spreading, do not share towels and washcloths with other people. Your doctor may want to cut a small opening in the boil so that the pus can drain out. This is called lancing the boil. He or she will numb the area first. Sometimes gauze is placed in the cut so that it stays open and keeps draining. Take antibiotics also they stop the infection and don't stop taking antibiotics they feel you better and end the infections. Use proper medication snow stem sachet, aloevera juice, elix r skordo, rise onn syrup.
