Answer #1

Always consult your physician before you start taking any medication especially if you take prescription meds. The meds that you want to take (the over-the-counter vitamins and herbal meds) may cause your prescription meds to be less effective or increase the levels of the prescription meds to toxic levels.

Answer #2

Can’t exactly diagnose as I don’t have that authority, but I do have some questions. Do these things remain under the skin all the time or to the rise to the surface, form painful pustules and the scab over and dry up? Where are they at on your body? Are they localized, all in one place or are they present all over your body? I can say that more than likely there is no home remedy for this. If you are without insurance, you could go to your local community health–most use a sliding scale based on your income,your spouses income if you are married, and how many children you have. you need to see a Dermatologist if you haven’t already, and if you have maybe a different might have different answers for u. Good luck!! {=

Answer #3

The cause and cure will depend on where exactly you’re getting these boils…The kind that appear in armpits, groin, and other places where there are sweat glands could possibly be Hidradenitis Suppurativa…these are very painful boils, almost like absesses…getting fevered before they begin to leak pus…they leave scars…Maybe do some reading on exactly WHAT they are, and try some natural remedies to boost your immune syster…ie: Ester C, Vitamin E, and Omega 3’s and 6’s??

I am waiting on a state insurance company called medicade but I am afraid I dont qualify without a child or job and no not married, by the way I get the bumps under my arm , the groin area my hip area and now under my breast I didnt treat it when it started I thought it would just go away with some hydrogen peroxide but I guess I made it worse does anyone know if this could cause fatality if not treated like staff infection I am not ready for that.

Answer #5

She states she has no insurance and is looking into home remedies…

Answer #6

True, and I mentioned comm. health centers as a source that normally much lee expensive than some Dr owned facility. And if the lack of health ins was going to be long-term she could look into the state ins. Here in Wa there are several ins companies that deal with individual contracts, she could apply for that. Anyway, most of what you listed would probably be ok (iffy on the E)but a Dr should always be consulted prior to taking them, and as long as taking them concommitentally with any prescrip drugs is found to be ok for use with any of her prescribe meds as well as any problems that could ooccur between using the OTC meds together as well. As I stated earlier, I can not diagnose and truly am not attempting to—but I really feel that this is something that is not going to be easily fixed and that medical intervention will be necessary. That’s all (•:

Answer #7

I had painful peri-anal cysts (boils) very often during my teenage years and when I reached age 28 I had to get it surgically removed because it was large and I couldn’t walk. The one thing that stood out was when the doctor gave me Epsom Salt to drink the night before surgery. Now I take Epsom Salt twice a year as a laxative and do not get the cysts anymore. I am 53 years old at this post. I recognized that certain soft drinks (I.e. Coca Cola, Orange Juice) and other citrus juices can cause a problem with getting cysts or boils. I do not drink sodas like I did when I was a teenager but can occasionally have a soft drink like Sprite or 7up. With a very small cyst I found that just putting Neosporin on the cyst will calm it and remove the cyst before it flares up. Hope this helps anyone.

Answer #8

Its simple the cure is simple but true! it is a hormon condition the best way is to STOP mustabrating if you do it!. always make sure your nails are as low as possible. donating your blood purifies it and the new blood helps a lot but once a week fast for 12 Hours the best way fast from sun rise to sun set(eat or drink nothing but work as normal do not rest). RED BULL or other hard drinks(including beer and stuff)should be avoided water milon once a day . you will see it goes off but wait atleast once a week apply Fusicot cream on the affected areas for a year it will be perminantly gone.

Answer #9

I have dealt with abscesses in the past and they would come back time and time again. they are extremely painful and sensitive to the point where,depending on where it is, you are not able to walk. I had used hot teabags to reduce the swelling and had been prescribed antibiotics.. but honestly if you dont deal with it when you have it.. it will cause you more problems.. when I had my first outbreak, I didnt do anything about it due to the embarrassment of having it in the groin area. it got so bad I had to go to the ER and have it surgically removed which was a pain and ended up costing more. so dont let it get worse.
