Painful boil on bum

[Nevergoingtolearn]

Ok, it's not on my bum it's on my thigh but it really hurts when I sit down, I thought it was just a spot but now it's huge and red, I can feel a large lump under the skin so I thcould know its a boil? It there anything I can put on it to either draw out whatever's in there or to make it vanish. It's not very atractive

Klaxon and photo - them's the rules.

You really want to see a photo? It's not that ugly, I think the bests to come, I will apply heat and hope the puss rises

The boil/spot, please excuse the stretch marks and flab.

The hottest bath you can bare and Magnesium sulphate!

Pulls up chair.....

There's a hint of a head there I think.

There is a hint of a head, I have had it for 4 or 5 days so it must be getting close to bursting , I will have a hot bath later and use a warm compress for a bit.

You can buy magnesium sulphate paste OTC which will bring it to s head.

I had one of these not long ago, almost same place and holy moly they are painful!! My doc (I went about something else but whilst I was there....) said it was an hair follicle that had got infected with it being in the area it is and pressure being put on it all day (I have a desk job so am on my backside a lot of the day). Remedies: yes hot bath with Dettol or Savlon and Fucidin cream. And repeat. And repeat. Until you have relief! I am a poker and prodder so helped it on it's way but made sure to bath in antiseptic afterwards.

Magnesium sulphate paste after hot bath.
