Bandaging your boil helps prevent it from getting infected and causing other complications. Be sure to clean it thoroughly every day, and change the dressing often. This also helps prevent the boil from recurring.
Key Takeaways
If the boil doesn’t heal in a week, or if it keeps coming back, don’t hesitate to consult your doctor. It’s possible that your boil might need special treatment, or you might have to take antibiotics in order to prevent the boil from coming back.
Either way, it’s always a good idea to consult your doctor if you feel that there might be something wrong.
