BOILS: Go to the pharmacy and buy a tube of icthammol ointment, also known as 'black salve'.
I have some of that, a few tubes. Never been opened. It is good for many things I know. Not sure it was even made back when I had the boils.
Apply it to the boil and then put a bandaid or small bandage over it, not too tight, leaving a little room so the salve can work. Change the dressing every day using fresh black salve and fresh bandaid. The ointment has a drawing action and cleans out the boil.
Sounds like a lot of trouble. Worth the effort, no doubt. I usually leave them alone until time for the razor blade.
