What is an effective way to get ride of a boil at home. nervous about doctors.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Warm compress: First, if you are having fevers, feeling lightheaded or the infection is expanding, you should go to a health facility. If not, then you can start with placing a warm compress on the area. Take a wash cloth, run it under hot water (or wet and microwave for 20-30 sec) and when it's not too hot place it on boil for 5-10 min. Repeat at least 5 times a day. Hot baths help.
