I’ve used a paste made from turmeric and water it helps to keep the boils from coming back most of the time
How long do you leave it on for and how often do you do it please ?

Happy Tuesday Dr. Dray!
Morning!
Happy Tuesday, Dr. Dray❤
Thank you my husband has this and has since he was young. He had a close call.with cellulitis a couple.of.years ago. I appreciate this.
I had a large boil on my arm as a child that I hid from my mother and everyone because I wanted to be in a ballet recital. I developed a high fever and ended up in the hospital on IV antibiotics for sepsis! I was so upset I missed the recital.
Thank God you’re here to talk about it! That could’ve been deadly 😢
Thank you Dr. Dray 💕
i had an outbreak on my bottom during my last semester of college. it was so embarrassing telling my professor i needed an extension bc my butt was leaking pus for weeks
My daughter used to get it in her diaper area all the time. I would change her diaper right away to try to avoid the boils but to no avail. She was so prone. Later we found out she has a a skin condition that disrupts her skin barrier – ichthyosis. Once she was out of diapers she never had another boil, but it was so scary all the time. I was always so stressed about watching for these boils. I used a wet paper towel (so I can just throw it away afterwards) then I put a heating pad on, but put a ziplock bag between the two to protect the heating pad. That worked really well for her. Once the boil drained I cleaned with iodine and put bactroban on with a waterproof bandaid until it completely healed.
Hi Dr. Dray. Thanks for the information. Your hair looks amazing! Please make us an update haircare product recommendation video❤
Many years ago, when I was a child, I used to get boils often. My mother used to soak bread in warm milk and put it on the boil to bring it to a head. When I think of it now, how funny, but it seemed to work.
That’s a very good way to get the boil to bring it to a head. It’s a very old remedy that actually worked back in the day because people were prone to them a lot, and no antibiotics.
Dr Dray, you are such a good communicator of such valuable information!
Great video!! You are a fount of knowledge & can explain things where the average person can understand! Thank you.
I’ve had a couple of boils in my life and I will never forget how painful they were. Warm compresses helped a little. Appreciate these tips and I know they will be helpful to anyone currently dealing with one. Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a tranquil evening. ❤
I used to get them on my right sideburn a few times a year. They were incredibly painful. 5% BP prevented them and I have gotten them since. Now I just use Panoxyl face wash a few times a week
my younger brother had a large boil once on his thigh. My father took a glass bottle with a narrow opening, heated up the bottle by submerging it in really hot water bath, took it out and flipped it upside down over the boil. As the air inside cooled down, it produced a vacuum which then drew out the pus from his boil. Never heard him scream from pain so badly (I assume because of the pressure being put on the boil itself to maintain an airtight seal).
Dr Dray is the best!! huge thank you for all the excellent info/and so honestly explained too! thank you!
Love your content, Dr. Dray! I am surprised, however, that you did not mention the possibility of hidradenitis suppurativa for certain symptoms/recurrences of supposed boils. I am aware that having a boil does not mean that you have hidradenitis suppurativa, however, I think it is important to mention that this is a possibility if you have recurring boils in the underarms, groin, buttocks, or breast areas to name a few. For those that have experienced such symptoms, it is certainly worth mentioning that to your health care professional for further evaluation.
My son had a boil on his hip when he was 4… the next day he developed a fever and I took him to his doctor and he had MRSA. His doctor said that if I waited until the next day (as my mom suggested I do), my son might have been hospitalized and it could have likely been lethal… it had to be drained and all the damaged tissue scraped out for the culture and to try to remove as much infection as possible because it was so close to his actual hip joint… his doctor told me that it was so so close to being something that could have caused a life altering/life ending situation… all from what originally seemed like irritation from the elastic in his underwear… I cried all the way home after that visit… heck, my son is 16 now yet it still makes me cry thinking about it.
So take boils very very seriously if you or a loved one has them. It’s not something to mess with.
Whenever I hear a person pronounce vuLnerable correctly I feel good. Thankyou Dr
