Is A Boil On Buttocks While Having Heart Murmur A Cause For Concern?
My son has what appears to be a boil on his buttocks. We are treating it with warm compresses right now. He is 23 years old right now. He was diagnosed with and innocent murmur when he was around 8 years old. I saw online that you should seek medical attention if you have a heart murmur and a boil. Should I be concerned.
Hi dear The answer is simply YES simply because infection (eg. boil) with murmer should make us worried about not have infective endocarditis so i highly suggest that you have to consult your family physician for management & followup please Regards Dr. Mohammed AlKhateeb
