A member asked:
I have a large red boil/spot on the end of my nose. what are the best tips to make the redness disappear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Warm compresses: It may take some time for this to disappear because it is the result of an inflammatory process which includes increasing the blood supply to the affected area. Using heat may help the rate of clearance.
