- How to Treat a Boil. Part of the series: Child Care & First Aid. To treat a boil, apply warm and moist compresses to the area, soak in a warm bath and apply heating pads, making sure to keep the area clean and dry between soakings. Encourage a boil to come to a head and drain with expertise from a registered nurse in this free video on first aid.
Nice and simple video 👏
I had a big boil in the inside of my thigh that touched the testicles. Most uncomfortable location. I couldn't walk. There was a big white head and surrounding area was red and throbbing even at a rest position. Saw this video and was going through the comments to see how I can feel relief when it suddenly popped on its own and a ton of blood and some pus ozzed out. I cant express how nice it feels. From what research I did in the last 15 mins: wet compression would increase circulation in the area thus triggering a pop sooner and cvs boil relief benzocaine 20% probably will give a good amount pain relief. I'm going to get and keep it at home if I need in future. Lastly, will get a good antibacterial soap for everyday use.
I really hope people who have come to this video and comments feel better.
Literally sitting in the doctors now got mines in the same place definitely took stress awys
Loose some weight?
I had 1 at the same place on my thigh, next to my nuts. I guess i caught it early? I busted the white head treated it with rubbing alcohol and neosporin. And it went away THANK GOD > I would have to use the stool set, to push out the pus. It was size of a halve dollar. plus watching out not to smash my nuts doing it OUTCH
oof that hurts
Those be the worse ones too best remedy is just washing it gently with a west while your taking a shower it won’t get rid of it completely but it will suppress it so that it will shrink
Take an old pop bottle or any plastic bottle fill it with as hot of water as u can stand tighten cap and place on affected areas. Do this atlest 5 times a day (trust me 5-7 times is ideal) and when u go to sleep it will bust and you'll have relief 😊
Disgusting and well versed
That's actually a great idea
@@mazinr4514 It clearly states to use "As hot of water as u can stand" meaning do not use it if its too hot that it'll burn you obviously..It worked like a charm for me and my family and friends. No one uses scalding hot water, just hot enough to be effective. If you get burned or have any kind of heat related damage you felt it as soon as you applied it 🤔 You must use discretion ppl..!!
@@mazinr4514 u must be very smart😂
@@kareemjohnson8059 Everyone else knew what you meant. You're good fam. 😊
Thank ma’am you were extremely helpful
I'm a bigger dude and I get these all the fuckin time. Usually on my waistline where my belly hangs. Always get really fucking bad ones but they always pop within like 4 days. Warm rags don't seem to do that much. But a tip for anybody who gets frequent boils there's a product out there called boil-eaze and it's a topical cream that you apply directly to the area and the boil. It doesn't pop it but it basically makes you forget it's there. Almost instant pain relief. But for my big dudes out there if you get these alot don't worry if they last for a little bit longer than they say. Mine take 6 days to pop sometimes. It sucks but you get use to it. Also make sure you wash the area crazy good. Antibacterial hand soap works crazy well at preventing these. The worst thing is if you get them on the flap on your side. I had to get that shit lanced. Lancing doesn't hurt as bad as you would expect. The doctor cleans the area and then injects some anesthetic into the boil ( yeah, I know it sounds bad but trust me it's not as bad as you would expect). After a minute or so they make a very small incision on the top. That's the worst pain that the procedure has and it's still only like a 6 or 7. After that they squeeze the everloving fuck out of it, stuff the inside with packing (sterile bandage that goes inside the boil) and send you on your way. Now if you have to take the packing out yourself, just make sure your going STRAIGHT out of the incision hole and it'll be easy. If there gets to be a point where the pain is horrible just cool down for a sec and power through it. DM me on snap (supremesteve69) if you ever need direct advice or If you just want someone to talk to if your in pain from one of these things. I know how bad it is and how much you wish you had someone that's gone through the same thing. Stay clean. Love you guys.
Im notta guy. Ive got one festering on my lattisimus dorsi& i cant reach it.
Loose weight
Get alot inner thigh ty for the help
Reading this really reduced a lot of my stress.thanks !
@@bazanontherocks9915 Awesome bro! Glad I could help 👍
Excellent video!
Thank you so much 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
My mom taught me to put mentholatum on it in the shower. Let it sit for a few minutes then warm compresses with a wash rag. It usually busts during that shower or the next one
Like Vicks?
Thanks
Thank you
What about hibiclens and clindamycin 1% to prevent infection and take it down that's what my doctor recommended but my brother used to use the pop bottle as hot as you can stand it
Has anyone used hydrocolloid on boils?
I just used witch hazel- had boil on inner buttock area. After restroom I would clean with cottonelle wipes then wipe boil with witch hazel- used that clear medical tape and one inch gauze pad- covered with neosporin to seal it off from getting more irritated from my pants. In two days it popped but felt a second one right below it which I’m dealing with now. Doing same routine. It’s almost ready to pop. This pain is worse than child birth!!
Bleach baths 3 x weekly to prevent boils. Or a surgical scrub (like betadine) added in your wash during a shower.
Are you serious, bathing in bleach water?😂😂
@@ruthfrank8106 yes. It was recommended by the Urgent Care doctor I saw. Not pure bleach. Only a cup or two per the whole bath tub. Or you can use betadine washes every few days for a month. It helps break up the colonized bacteria from the skin.
@remibelle3470 that seems crazy given that bleach is toxic to the skin. I wouldn't take that doctors advice if i were you. Did you actually do it?
Yea right!
or just use an antibacterial soap
Use Vick and heat bad drained twice yesterday. Still going and feel big clot buttocks.
1/2 Use warm water and a spoon of salt, stir until the water is no longer cloudy. Get a cloth and dip it into the water solution and ring it out (not too much! you still want to leave some water in your cloth) and pat it or lay it across the boil and keep doing this until the water in the cloth is drying up and then continue to dip it and repeat the process again! (you should do this for at least 20 minutes) I did this for my underarm boil yesterday and it brought it to a head and the pus is draining and i feel lots of relief!
2/2 The warm water promotes blood flow which helps get that boil draining! And the salt dries out the boil which also makes it drain naturally. At first i couldn't even lift my arm up nor sleep properly and now i can lift it and i notice the boil is getting smaller because the salt is drying it out. I'd say do this 2-3 times a day. One in the morning, evening, and night. And i put a heating pad under my arm as well which i think also helped ease the pain. Like if you found this helpful!
Side note: It's best to do this after a shower so your nice and clean! And make sure to gently pat boil dry! Any moisture can make the boil worse.
Thank you please pray for me
Mine popped yesterday and it hurts so much even after popping. I'm suffering like I can't sit and even the slightest touch hurts like h! Any rec or help??
Where's it at?
I got boil below my stomach near my private parts... I can't even wear pants 😭 how to cure it?
How can you really tell the difference between mrsa and boil or are they the same ?
a culture of the pus.
Idk how but I got a boil right above my buttocks. It hurts to even sit, lay down or sleep
That's actually a super common place to have them
@@Emma-cj8mo I heard. It was so annoying since I had two right beside each other. One of them popped naturally when I was just sitting on a couch. I have a ceiling shower head so I just had the hot water on the other boil for a couple days
Don't feel bad I have one on my right ass cheek and boy does it hurt I'm about to try to pop it myself. I'm sick and tired of waiting cuz I can't sit down. It's only gotten bigger. Wish me luck
@@jaredstottler1813 take a bath with salt water for around 30 minutes, 2 times a day itll extract the pas and the water has to be a little warm
@@jaredstottler1813 me rn 💀 hurts to sit
What if a little pus comes out. Then, it stops. And then more pus comes out about two days later.
A very big appreciation to Dr. Igudia on CZcams for helping me get rid of my five years old type 2 Diabetes with his natural herbs medication. may God continue to bless your good work sir.
Which antibiotics best for boil ??
Bactrim
Cloxacillin, but make sure you ask your derma first
I got a boil on my stomach about 6 inches in width and 4 inches in length (yes it’s huge) got it lanced, and “drained”, now it’s BIGGER. I’ve had a fever for 3 days, nausea, I’ve felt like I’ve needed to faint by the amount of pain that I’m in. I can’t stand up or walk. TheRR keep saying put a warm compress on it. that’s helping it drain, but it’s not getting any smaller and the pain is still the same. So not only do I have that, now there’s one growing on my butt crack. I can’t catch a break
Damn Sam! I feel for you buddy, good luck
Is it ok now? If not u should go ahead go see the doctor and if u didn't tell ur parents then tell them they know better:))
Go to the doctor
Omg I hope you’re better now, that’s negligence from whoever told you to just keep putting a warm compress on it. If you develop a fever you should always go to the ER immediately since you could end up with sepsis meaning the infection ends up getting in your bloodstream and causes further damage to the point of death. A boil may be harmless sometimes but when you start developing fever it’s a sign of a bad infection that needs to be treated ASAP.
You should have treated the boil early, i treated my boild early that's why it didn't grow
Second day this thing it's painful 😞
Is it ok now?
My whole arm is in pain, can't do basic things.
IT GET MOISTY SOMETIMES IN THE DAY AND I WIPE IT UP IS THAT GOOD ?
Hows the boil its been a month has it healed?
@@snkae7139 YES IT DID 90% BUT STILL HEALING MIGHT DOO SURGERY IN THE SUMMER SO SHE NEVEEER GROW AGAIN , IT WAS B CAUSE OF THE HAIR
@@mazaouihamza1515 no need to do surgery, it already healed, just apply warm compress for 20mins 4times a day till its gone, I have one in my buttocks and it hurts so much I cant properly walk without it stinging, but after a few days of applying warm compress the pain lessens and I can walk better, it still hasnt healed nor pop, hoping it would pop later or tomorrow
@@mazaouihamza1515 hey if you wanna know my boil popped open after repeated soaking I drained it out as much as I can and I feel so relieved right now free from pain I can properly walk again, hopefully It will continue to heal until its gone
So my boil finally popped today it feels so much better. But I do feel a small small bulge in my thigh afterwards. Should I just keep applying a warm towel 3 times a day for a couple more days to continue to drain? Will the small bulge go away in time or should I go see a doctor. And when I say bulge not the opening where it may scar I’m referring to the bulge deeper in the thigh after it pops. Thank you 🙏🏼
Plz update how you healed it. I'm facing the same issue.
It will go away
It will come out on its own
Good question
It'll go away naturally
Git one right on the underwear line in the hip...😢..I'm going to try the warm compression
Not trying to be funny but I've got one about the size of a golf ball on the inside of my right butt cheek. It is extremely painful, even to just stand. I'm trying to figure out if it's really a boil. It's underneath my skin but unfortunately there is no head for me to pop
i’m having the exact same problem!! didd yours pop how did you treat it?🥲
@@tylerscreator701 Yes eventually popped on it's own. I used Neem oil and it seemed to work well. I've heard there's ointments online to help the pain. Also aspirin helped with the pain. Hope that helps
I took an appointment tomorrow but I can't withstand the pain I wish I'm a surgeon I'll do it myself
Can I lance the boil myself.
Introduce a bad bacteria, you're in trouble. Moist heat and pressure around th head , it will drain out... have heard it can take some time doing to clear it up but is much safer.
No a medical professional
You can with fresh razor and lots of rubbing alcohol. Doesn't hurt to take antiboitics if you can get some to ensure it doesn't get infected.
Just keep picking at it. until it makes a head > Then slice it open and squeeze it out OUTCH until the core comes out! So far i only had 5 of them in my life / So far i haven't been to a doctor yet for boils I keep my self clean show every day. but some time some thing rubs the hair particles and makes a boil. or a pimple and there is a difference between the 2. Pimple are on the top of the skin and BOILS ARE DEEP DOWN UNDER THE SKIN
The comment section is on fire! 🔥
Good tips here though
I had one where my football pads rub to top of the thigh > i slice it open! Put the palms of my hands on each side of it and PUSH FAST AND HARD DOWN. IT shot into my face. Left a scare where it was. >> That the best way of doing it if you can IS? Put pressure on it to make it shot out. Some time its a must to squeeze it out> that worst way to do it . But some times the only way to do Slicing it with a razor blade to make a small slice! "Where the pimple head is" ? Makes it easier to get the cord out! > Then treat it with what ever. Like Neosporin, Rubbing alcohol ect.
I got one one my shaft 😭
I just ran a hot bath as instructed with epsom salt and soaked for one hour. Come to find out it was rock salt for our driveway. Dooh
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha good one!
🤦🏽♀️
🤣🤣🤣
Salt disinfection lol
I actually put CBD oil on mine last night before I fell asleep..mine was very painful. But when I woke up it had busted...any questions???please reach out..I feel for you..
Hi. What is CBD oil?
@@starblue175 I think it’s like for the vapes idk I’m dumb I’m doing thru the same thing
@@Anakin_0YT I feel for you man..mine has since gone away...you can buy cbd oil or cream in alot of convenience stores..it's marijuana based cream or oil which you can buy legally. .good luck man..hope you get better
@@JoseGarcia-xp8fm it’s gotten better but I can barely walk and it hurts it bleeds but the inflammation has gotten smaller and thank you it’s my first boil ever and never want one again
@@Anakin_0YT hang in there bro in pulling for you. I feel your pain..
My god no one is commenting
No one wants to admit to having a boil lmao
God not god
Thanks brown leaf lol
I have been awake for over 20 hours and can't fucking sleep. I am getting sick and fucking tired of this shit.
That boil is oval
I use a hot water bottle
Did it work
@@shydog6418 keep applying the heat, yes it did work. I done it 3x day. Good luck Lupita let me know how you got on.
@@shydog6418 also I applied TCP antiseptic lotion to the boil, don't squeeze the boil let it drain naturally, you might have a hole but it will close in time, once the puss is fully gone.
@@psycoticbastard hi mine just drained already after using heat compress, how should i treat or clean it properly? after i take a bath, i covered it with sterile gauze then plaster and changed every 4hrs or if i feel like its been so long already. is this right?
Beverly Bitterman 😁
Doctors here are not performing lancing in fear of COVID they are just giving medicines. It's my day 3 and the worst thing I did was trying to squeeze out the puss I know it's disgusting but I thought it would heal but turns out I should've never done that. Now on day 4 I'm doing heat compressions using salt let's see what happens
What happened?
@@CnSins that's what I wanna know lls
What happened?
Hot compresses
My boil is the size of a waterbottle
After a year my boil still wasn't gone. The puss formed a cyste and the doctor removed it, though the infection wasn't gone. Next step was antibiotics, but also that didn't help.
I was so frustrated I ignored the advice not trying to puncture it myself. I punctured it with a sterile needle and after that I immediatly I used a syringe to inject it with apple cider vinegar. It hurted like hell! However it turned out to be a good idea, because the boil shrinked and the places where I punctured it with a needle, healed like normal wounds. The vinegar dried out the top layer of the skinn till I eventually was able to peel it away. I noticed as well the infection shrinked as well and became less deep till it was eventually away.
Where did u get a syringe from
@@hannahsamuels7226 buy one?
Where did u buy one ? My bad
