A member asked:
Have boil on groin area finally draining but it is all blood. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drainage: A boil that opens by itself and drains may heal on its own. Likely there is some pus mixed with the bloody drainage, although it may not be obvious. Best to keep the area clean and see the doctor if the surrounding area is red, swollen or painful or if the wound is not healing.
