Hi , I had a boil on my leg. It ended up popping , the thing is I was wondering how long does it usually take to heal? It turned like a black & blue color is that normal? What should I do to make it heal? I was using rubbing alcohol and then a cream , lastly covering it with a bandage. I m going on vacation in a few days should I be concerned about it being opened? Thank you for you re time.
Hello Thanks for the query. You might require treatment with oral antibiotics. Only alcohol might not be helpful. Your description suggests that you have developed an abscess. If you are covering It, the dressing must be changed every alternate day. Please meet a doctor and get antibiotics prescribed. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
