Get after the boils. That is a staph infection you are spreading about your body. You will need antibiotics, and must wash cloths, sheets, towels in hot water all after one use. That infection is hard to get rid of.

Hi @john and @texasduchess

I’ve done a lot of research on boils. Whatever you do, don’t squeeze or burst them. This can spread infection deep into your cells. I have been using a warm compress (or simply taking relaxing baths with Epsom salts and lavender essential oils which also helps the wean) and that has made a world of difference!

The one on my arm is gone. The one on my thigh is nearly gone. Yes, they can be potentially life threatening, but only in extreme cases and if they spread into deeper tissue or are not heailing. Otherwise, you can treat at home.
