Suggest Remedy For Boil On The Back Of Left Thigh
My son is 6yrs. old. Last Tuesday he had what looked like a boil appear on the back of his left thigh. My husband and I put Neosporin and a gauze square on it Saturday. Sunday morning we looked at the gauze and there was some fluid on it. We just thought the boil burst and it was healing. Today is Wednesday, April 13 and the area in the middle of the spot has a red ring. It looks almost like a bulls-eye. The area is a little painful to him. Any answers would help me! Thank You!

Hello. I just read through your question.
It is likely the area will not heal with oral antibiotics. Additionally, it may need to be drained by a doctor.
I recommend consulting with your doctor about this.
