Boil: with all of the new MRSA staph infections out there. You really should have a doctor look at this boil to make sure it does not need to be lanced and drained and an oral antibiotic needed

Just keep clean/dry: Popping or lancing is basically the best treatment. If severe, antibiotic may be needed. Simple boils/abscesses are often cured by simply draining it--in your case you popped it. Keep area clean and dry, and look for improving redness and swelling. If worsens, consult doc. Good work! and good luck.

Infected skin tissue: Infxn under skin. Needs opened, drained and antibiotics for a few days.

Answer 8

Infection under skin: Usually a boil refers to a "puss pocket" type of infection under and in fhte skin. It often comes from the bacteria that are on the skin, getting inside it. They generally need to drain, and most of them will do so if you soak them with warm water several times daily. If they don't drain, you may need to have your health care provider open it up, as was suggested. Antibiotics sometimes help too.

Get evaluated: You may need antibiotics or for the boil to be incised and drained. Good luck!

Answer 11

Boil on skin: A boil is a deeper seated skin infection - an abcess cavity which can be quite large and painful. It is more common in younger people. Most boils can be treated with drainage and the use of protective antibiotics. See your general physician for treatment.

Answer 12

Should heal: The small hole after popping a boil will heal itself. It may form a scar but it will heal. It's not advisable to pop a boil at home though.

Answer 13

Boil: Well, if the boil is in the same locale, there may be a foreign body that causes the body to react. If the location of the boil changes, then it may indicate that you have a skin colonization with a particular bacterial sub-type. See a dermatologist to get this checked out by a professional.

Answer 14

Ok but may get treat: With recurrent skin abscesses it is possible you are a "carrier" of staph infections. A good thorough cleansing and decontamination protocol which you could find online or from your doc could likely help.
