Boils and abscesses are red, pus-filled bumps that form under the skin. They?re often painful, and they grow larger until they are drained. Boils are caused by bacteria that infect and then inflame hair follicles. They can grow to the size of a baseball, and the area surrounding the skin can be red and painful, too. You shouldn?t pick at or squeeze a boil. If it isn?t drained properly, it could infect nearby areas or push the infection deeper into the skin and cause more boils. The primary home remedy for most boils is heat application, usually with hot or warm water soaks or warm compresses. It may be necessary to apply them 20 minutes at a time for three to four times daily. Heat application increases the circulation to the area and allows the body to better fight off the infection by bringing antibodies and white blood cells to the site of infection. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results and gives relief in long term.
