Can i apply body lotion/ moisturizer if i have a boil on a particular body part? the lotion will be applied on the same body part. how to do it safely

No you can't. : If you have a boil or furuncle, you first need to have it treated by a doctor. Do not apply any body lotion or moisturizer on it, there is no safe way to do it but a risk to spread an skin infection. Be safe!
