Epsom salts

[Missboobyvontits]

Oh my Lordy...dh has an abscess on his posterior, he was advised to use Epsom Salts to help draw the gunk out. Anyways, Saturday afternoon all small chemists closed, medium sized Boots where I live doesn't stock, Morrisons and Sainsburys where I live also doesn't stock.
I don't really want to haul my sorry butt to a major shopping centre on a busy Saturday afternoon but will do if necessary.
Does anyone know of any other major retailers where I can buy this...DH seems to think I can buy it anywhere.

A hot, salt water poultice should work too, sea salt is probably more salty.

Thanks for your reply, DH has had a salty bath now though I will continue my search tomorrow.

Small pharmacists can order it in but you may want it sooner. My local large boots often don't have it but the little Co-op one usually does. Perhaps ring around?

Have you tried magnesium sulphate paste? A chemists should have it.
