Boil: A boil is a large painful lesion with pus in it that can occur on the body.  Most people need an antibiotic and or have to have it drained.  If you get them frequently, they should check for diabetes, possible MRSA carrier(a common hospital infection now invading the community).

Question 2

hi i have a pimple that looks like it might just be starting on my face but when you feel it its hard and really sore and sweeling?

Accepted Answer

Apply heat: First sign of a pimple, use washcloth or cotton ball with very hot water and put it on the spot for as long as it stays hot.  Repeat at least several times.  Will either go away, or develop into a pimple that will discharge its contents and relieve the pain.  Good luck!

Pimple: You may have spread the infection from the original pimple to the sevond pimple and red area. See your doctor for evaluation and treatment.

Question 7

always getting pus liquid pimples they hurt and they are on my face and scalp they cause my hair to fall out what can i do they are sore and real fill?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A primary care doctor can examine the skin and hear the whole story, to see if such pimples are treatable by the usual acne medications, versus some other type of skin infection or skin disorder. The infection or the inflammation at the site of the pimples is probably causing the hair to fall out, so a dermatologist (skin specialist) may be helpful... as we hope there can be hair regrowth.

Question 8

every now and then sore pimples appear on my face & scalp, they go away after a few days but keep coming back, is it acne or an infection ?

Accepted Answer

Both possible: These may simply be a cystic form of acne, or alternatively it may be folliculitis which is an inflammation in the hair follicles. See your dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
