I Have A Boil...Help!

[Warden of the Northeast]

This may be a little off track considering the other responses, but how about going to an Urgent Care Clinic where a medical professional can do an I & D procedure, start appropriate antibiotics and provide you with some pain pills?

What's an I & D procedure?

Something ghey for liberal cucks who won't use knives, no doubt.

Won't alcohol hurt? I was thinking of using the HP to pull all of the gunk out.

There is a category of minor pain that is arguably necessary and very short term. It's called the *don't be a baby* category. Especially when dealing with home-treatments and potential infections. Every skipped step increases your risk of infection returning or getting worse. So yes, I'm being an ass, but I just want you back at 100% without more issues down the line. They might have boo-boo spray at the local drug store in the children's section for infections, but I'm not sure that would do much of anything for a boil.

I personally would use Green Hull Black Walnut tinctured in 140+ proof for stuff like this, and that stuff burns for about 20 seconds, then wipe it off with witch hazel for a week after HOT showers. Old timer remedy is use boiling water in a glass to make some suction, and the steam will disinfect and the hot vacuum will suck out the puss. But you need 1) a second person, and 2) someone who knows how to do it with the right container and position to not scald you.

Boils are one of those things that can spread infection, so don't skip steps and be extra clean about it. A little pain, who cares, better than the alternatives.

He could. But in the information age, it's nice when friends can help each other without coercion to be less self-reliant.

I used to have boils when I was in the navy. You have to get the entire thing or it will just grow back. It if it is not ready to pop about the only thing you can do is go to the doctor so they can cut it out. If it is ready to pop take a soda bottle or beer bottle and let it sit in boiling water (just the bottom half so you don't burn yourself) Once it is really hot place the bottle firmly over the boil and the heat will create a vacuum to the point where you can almost let go of the bottle and it will stay attached. Let the bottle suck that creepy shit out.

But if it is really bad you need to get it taken care of by a doctor. They also need to do a culture on it to see what it is or they will just keep coming back forever and forever and forever again. I had one on the back of my neck that the medics had to clean out and as it healed it pushed over 2 feet of gauze out of the hole it was so deep.

So please detail the steps for me again so I can try it. I want to do this correctly.

Urblock! Come on man this kinda sucks.

 

[winos5]

Ya know I've had a change of heart. Just drink heavily until the problem goes away. Too bad El Cid isn't around anywhere on this board. He always gave the best advice in these situations.

Ehhhhhhhhh....You figure that out on your own. I'll share experience and what I might choose to do with myself, just don't confuse that with me advising you. That is a fine-line, and in the modern world requires quite a bit of disclaimer and mitigating liability.

Good luck though.

 

[winos5]

Have you tried medical marijuana. That shit works miracles.

You said to make sure you do things correctly, I just asked for a list so I didn't miss anything. I understand your point though. I appreciate your insight tremendously, thank you!
