No, not my problem, but I thought you should see why some people get hooked on medical forums. Read this and suffer vicariously! The story continues for 3 years! |

Well, what is tragic is the lack of available health care. Though even in the US, I don't think having a boil lanced in a walk-in clinic would cost very much.
I just glanced at the saga as it was really TMI. Relieved that the guy finally got to a doctor - a boil usually needs medical attention, unless you can treat it yourself by sterile lancing and antibiotic salve. Often an ingested broad-spectrum antibiotic is a good idea too.
I have more experience with my cat having such infected things (usually bites, but also an ear that swelled up - could have been a bite as well).
