Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Leah, Zeb has this too. I use Boil-ese found on any drug store shelf. It is better than anything that the drs have prescribed. Carol's Trisha has this also. The cream seems to bring the boils to a head faster. Zeb only tells me when the boils are huge. I don't know how he can stand it.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I rermember a year or so back that we had a thread going about hidrinitis suppraive which Elie has also suffered from. We finally got the doc to agree that these needed to be lanced (as in opened and drained as they occurred as soon as a head formed. Either the doc did it or I did it. I used a STERILE #18 needle which the doc gave me. That is similar diameter to a darning needle (which I also used). ONLY MOM TALKING - not medical advice. Also bleach baths helped. HE is now 6 months free of this issue - maybe he is outgrowing it????????? > > OKAY here is a link about the funky stuff ashton has > hidradanitis.....someone mentioned boils and abcesses..........often that is > what they look like.......her armpits are awful and her butt and crevices of > her skin are hard for me to even look at sometimes.....much easier since I > am cleaning them........ just thought i would share...... > > leah > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidradenitis_suppurativa > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yes Bleach baths have also been suggested for cellulits.
