Hi and thanks for being part of our virtual clinic!
I understand your concern can give you some advice:
1. Skin
boils are caused by bacteria. Whether from infection or from a clogged hair follicle, they can occur anywhere on the body and are usually painful
2. Within a day or two, the bump or bumps begin to fill with pus. Boils continue to grow over several days or weeks, with more and more pus accumulating inside.
3. Boils can appear almost anywhere on the skin. They occur more often on hairy parts of the body, where the infection may begin in a hair follicle.
4. Poor hygiene and poor general health are risk factors for skin boils. People with
diabetes, which can interfere with the body's ability to fight infection, or with other immune-suppressing conditions, are also at risk. Skin problems like
acne or
eczema can make it easier for the bacteria to get in.
5. Keep the area clean, but don't scrub or pick at it. Doing so can make the infection worse. A home treatment that may help is a warm compress. Warm compresses may help the boil rupture more quickly. To make a compress, soak a washcloth in warm (not boiling) water and place it over the boil.
6. You can use
Bactroban cream and ointment both contain the active ingredient
mupirocin, which is an antibacterial medicine
In case of getting worse, contact your doctor and write us again
All the best!
