Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a boil that got infectioned I took antibiotic for it then I went a dermatologist. And he said I don t need it removed I have had the boil for a long time .It is on my butt.the boil is trying to heal itself idk if I should have it removed or not ?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if it is not the puss contained inside then it is not necessary to do any surgical intervention, if it is the infection then it can be best managed with Tab Cefdinir 300 mg twice in day for five to seven days, take care for good hygiene hope this information helps.
