Suggest Treatment For Boil On Skin
Hi,
I had a boil because of a hair that was trapped under the skin... It was very red/white and after applying several hot pads for 3 days, my mom managed to get the hair out of my skin! But one day after, the infection reappeared and I've saw a doctor so he prescribed me Bactroban but will the pus will drain alone or I need to do it myself?!
Thank you

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed furuncle.
These are deep bacterial infections.
Treatment is with antibiotics but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
