I have been experiencing boils for over a year now. I have been using Goldline Ichthammol Ointment 20% this stuff works miracles. These are so painful but with this it takes it away much faster. Heating pads and hot presses also works. You will need to ask for the stuff at the pharmacy since they do not have it on the shelves.

I have gotten boils since I was nine years old, right as I hit puberty. They were under my arms, one under my breast, one at the bikini line, and in the groin area. I am now 46 and still get them. This led to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) because of my immune system. Hot compresses, I found, were the only thing that helped.

I have had butt acne since I was a kid. This problem has gotten worse. Doctors tell me that it is not curable. I been test for MRSA and it's not that now they have me taking solodyn 135mg for maybe the rest of my life. I still get boils. I have been using an anti bacterial soap body wash that seemed to be working great and the next thing I knew I got a huge boil in the inside of my butt cheek. It is very painful and I get very embarrassed because I'm a woman and I have this very ugly problem that I hide.

I have a 16-year-old daughter and approximately three months ago, she got a boil. I took her to the doctor and they gave her antibiotics I thought that this would be a one-time occurrence, but since then, she has had several appear. They continue to get higher and higher up her body. They started at the base of her bottom and have gradually moved up her buttocks and now she has one on her side.

My 17-year-old daughter just suffered through the pain of a boil on her buttock. She refused to let the doctor drain it, so the doctor sent her home with an antibiotic and told her to do three sitz baths. Within 24 hours the boil did burst on its own and the redness and soreness is going away.

My son is a year old now and at the age of 11 months he developed a boil that covered his thigh. He was in so much pain it broke my heart. He has had many small ones around his but and stomach since he had the other one surgically lanced and drained with tubes. My doctor acts as if it's not that serious. But I have recommended she refer me to a pediatric dermatologist. I hope this helps because I am becoming very frustrated.

I take a cotton ball and dab it in egg white and place it directly over the tender area twice a day for a couple of days. To speed things up, I use the tip end of a wash cloth to dip in very hot water and dab it over the boil. It should be ready to squeeze on second the day.

I'm 34 and have suffered with boils ever since I was about 3 yrs old. When I was younger my mother would put hot wet bread on them and although this works it is very painful. Now all I do is put magnesium paste on the boil and cover it with a Melanin patch. It draws the pus out within 2-3 days and is less painful.

I have had several boils over the years. All on my chest area. I grew up on a farm and someone in the family was always getting one. My mother would make a "MILK POLIS" and apply overnight. A piece of bread crust soaked in some heated milk, PLENTY HOT and taped down, usually with an end of an old cotton sock.
