Boils

I have an embarassing tendency to develop boils on my scrotum. On my last visits to the local ER, they have decided it was best to "lance" the boil each time. However, this doesn't stop the boil from returning. Does anyone have any ideas to get rid of this thing for good? Something less painful, preferrably. I'd rather them not have to resort to surgery, either...

Thanks for any suggestions....

Hi, Caleb.

These are almost certainly recurrent sebaceous cysts that are getting infected.

Go to the archives at the link I have prepared for you below. Go to the FAQ link and read about essential oils.

At the first sign of a "recurrence" start as hot moist soaks of the immediate area (the smaller the area you heat the better this will work) as you can stand and hold it at that temperature for 5 minutes. For the first day, I would do it every hour and you will see the process reverse itself within 24 hours. A little antibacterial bath soap in the water will help even more.

Keep it up at least 4 times a day until it is gone. You will likely not have to have any more surgery. If it is not improving in a day of the above, it is time to see the doc again.

All conventional docs know this stuff. Why do they not take the time to explain it to you?
