How To Cure White Spot With Boil On The Tail Bone Area?

I have a boil on my butt right by my tailbone and it has gone down(after about 10 days) it has been draining and I think it is near the end of that. My question is, there is a white(looks like puss) sitting on the top of it, I have tried wiping it, squeezing it but just wont come off. It seems it is attached because I can pull on it but wont come out. I have been keeping it covered with anti biotic cream on the band aid. I have been soaking area with as hot of water that I can. My ass is a mess with 2 other boils forming but I squeezed in early stages and puss came out and they are just red now. I also have a red rash around where the adhesive of the band aid has been. Any suggestions??

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle.
I recommend using antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
Worm compresses can help in getting the puss out.
In case of pain you can use painkillers such as Ibuprofen.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
