rothschild Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Use a kaolin poultice.........is that the same as magnesium sulphate paste? Put it on as hot as you can bare. Never squeeze........you can force the puss back in by doing this. You should pull the skin away on either side until it pops. Ooooooo........just imagine the satisfaction of doing this.......but beware......these things can fling their yellowy mass for miles so make sure you have your swimming goggles on so it doesn't hit you in the eyeballs. Oh.......you will probably have to use the poutice's for a while until the big red boil has softened up and is ready for popping. You will be able to easily see the yellow head when it is ready. Also......these things can take quite a while to reach maturity......so be prepared to wait. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siân Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I had a boil (3 years ago, just before I moved here) I left it initially thinking it'd sort itself out. In the end it infected the whole area & hurt like hell so I went to my GP & was told to go away for a few days & apply a poultice to it (& make it as hot as I could bear & apply it as often as possible) to draw the puss out & create a head. 4 or 5 days alter I went back to the surgery (my GP at the time was able to perform small ops under local anaesthetic at the surgery - believe me you will NEED anaesthetic) & had it lanced. Forget pulling the skin away (although rothschild's descripton is pretty accurate) it needed to be cut with a scalpel. Puss flying the length & breadth of the room is about right - it smells to high heaven as well as being messy Even with regular dressing & a course of antibiotics I still had a flare up about 6 weeks later. So personally I'd not recommend trying to sort this out yourself at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 My mother used to swear by a poultice of soft soap and sugar left on overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redruby Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 A friend of mine got rid of a boil by sticking a darning needle in the gas flame on the cooker then dipping the needle in TCP before sticking it into the boil slowly and then squeezing it. Bit painful but it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitsmoorboy Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Get a piece of string, tie one end round the boil and the other round the door knob. You know the rest. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton200 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I don't think that you can remove it safely at home. You just have to wait until your organism get rid of it naturally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
