How Should I Treat A Boil On My Knee Cap?
Question: How should I treat a boil on my knee cap?
Brief Answer:
Please give details and post actual photographs.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
Since when is the boil present?
Over a knee cap is a rare site for boil - was there any injury over this area?
Please post clear and focused photos as these help sometimes for on-the-spot diagnosis.
Do you have any medicines at home? May be left over like antibiotics, anti-inflammatory.
Apply Liquid Povidone Iodine locally and may be a sterile bandage.
Give rest to this knee as movements do not allow early healing.
Awaiting for photos and your feedback.
Take care.
With Regards.
