How To Stop Bleeding After The Lanced Boil?
Hi, I am a 51 year old male. I had a boil lanced a couple of days ago. The doctor packed it with gauze and told me that the packing should stop the bleeding, unfortunately the bleeding hasn't stopped. And I can tell the packing is totally saturated. Is there something that I can do to stop it from bleeding?

It is not normal that the bleeding has not stopped yet, I would recommend to visit your doctor again to determine the reasons why this is happening. Meanwhile, apply ACE bandage aver the dressing to put some local pressure hopping to stop the bleed.
