Hi, Thanks so much. I am continueing the cleaning, peroxide, and the antibotics 2 times a day. I also after reading other info. on the web started a black tar cream for boils called Goldline Ichthammol Ointement 20% that I got a while back a the pharm. I put it on under a bandage last night and again this morning, it does look better today. I took some advil for the pain as suggested by other posters and that has helped to. Maybe the tax stimulas check will come this coming week and I can go and see a doctor. Thanks for helping. Sharon
Hi there.
It's really not a good idea to try things out and I believe this may cost a person more in the long run. From what you have described, it seems that the site is really infected and that the antibiotics you took may be inappropriate in terms of dose and duration. I suggest that you just keep the area clean, not to put anything on it, no manipulation. Show this to your doctor as soon as you are able to have this assessed properly. I doubt if steroids are the prudent way to deal with this, and your doctor may prescribe the appropriate antibiotics.
Wishing you all the best. Regards.
