A member asked:
I have a boil on the upper side of my left foot what can i do with out going to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual place: For a boil. It could be infected insect bite or injury. If you are diabetic or have circulation problems, this could be serious. I would not avoid hospital for this condition, because it could be serious.
