A member asked:
I have a small boil on my bottocks. so far, i have applied a small dab of adapalene .3% gel over the area. i am thinking of using antibacterial ointment as well. what else should i use to quickly cure this boil?

Boil: Warm compression is a commonly accepted and advised treatment modality for superficial skin infections. Warming a washcloth and compressing the area for 10-15 minutes four times per day will help the lesion heal or drain more efficiently. Sometimes antibiotics or surgical drainage is necessary.
