Suggest Remedies For A Painful Boil On The Shoulder Of A Diabetic Patient

Diabetic, huge boil left shoulder, draining but painful, Icy Hot bandages are a huge help. I have had boils before but this is a huge one. What else can I do? I apply heat when I am home with a sanitary disposable paper cloth and I have used hydrogen peroxide in addition to anti biotic soap. Thank You

Hello,

Boils, also known as abscess usually require incision and drainage by a physician. I strongly recommend you see a doctor to have this examines and treated before it gets worse.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
