Suggest Treatment For Bleeding Boil On The Buttocks
I developed a boil right in the crack of my butt (embarrassing). It finally broke after taking a hot shower. It bled considerably for some minutes. I applied Neosporin but it s still somewhat painful. Will it go away by itself or should I see a doctor if the pain persists for a couple more days?

Hello,
If the boil burst and the content drained then you should not put Neosporin in it. You better put alcohol or Betadine over to disinfect it since it is open wound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
