Get rid of the cause and you get rid of the boils.  Eat more green vegetables.  Boil plasters work but if you are not careful they will leave a scar.  The old fashioned method was to heat a milk bottle, then place the open end over the boil and let it cool.  As it does it draws the pus from the boil.  It too can leave a scar.........

Applications of heat, mild streaching and relaxing often help.  Try this before going to meds.

I would suggest seeing a doctor. I myself have had them before and was told that sometimes its genetics. You might want to make sure its not something serious, and yes they are painful, if you go to the dr they will drain the boil - NOW THAT HURTS. Warm baths will help them go away. I am a very clean person so I doubt my boil had anything to do with being dirty, but you might want to switch soaps or change detergents - and if you sweat a lot use powder.

Apply moist warm compress (microwaved washcloth will do - just be careful it's not TOO HOT).  Apply to site and then cleanse, using antiseptic (to kill bacteria now that the site is opened a bit).  I recommend tea tree oil to cleanse.  Near anti viral in it's properties and very kind to skin (won't dry it out).\n\nIf it's meant to , the boil will break.  If this occurs be certain you keep the wound (and it is a wound) very clean and as dry as you can.\n\nIt may (with the compress and cleansing) reduce itself and go away.\n\nGood Luck.

There is a product you can get over the counter called boil-ease. Ask your local pharmacist if they carry it.

I think what those are.....are boils.There is medication found at local drugstores which when applied will help.Ask a pharmacist for information on the product though.Even though the product may have information on it?....A pharmacist may have something to add.\nYou can call a doctors office and ask if what you have are actually boils.Some people have chronic cases and they may want to schedule an appointment for you to give you perscription strength medication.

It is true that treating yourself with freezing kits will help the warts on the surface of the skin go away for awhile, but you really need to begin to attack the virus itself living underneath your skin. To prevent future outbreaks, try arming yourself with a DAILY vitamin regiment (not just when you have an outbreak). Taking a good multivitamin (like Men's One-A-Day or Centrum), vitamin C (about 2,000 to 4,000 mg DAILY **), vitamin E, astragalus, garlic (comes in odorless pill form),echinacea, vitamin B complex (at least 50 mg of each form of B-vitamin 3x daily), and zinc tablets(sold as lozenges and liquid form) will help boost your immune system and keep breakouts from occuring frequently. All these are sold at health food stores,such as GNC, or drugstores. Also healthy living  i.e. leafy greens, high fiber and protein, soluble fats, no trans fat, lots of water, low sugar and salt intake, exercising regularly, good amounts of rest...all of these things play an important role in your overall health and wellness and will ultimately help you to boost your immune system, which will help you fight infections and breakouts of warts.\n\n**The vitamin C should be taken throughout the course of the day, not at one time. You can take anywhere from 2,000 to 4,000 mg but you should only take as much as your body will allow. Start at 2,000 mg and gradually increase until you notice changes in your bowel movements (runny, diarrhea). Also get the vitamin C with ester. Ester helps your body absorb more of the vitamin, as vitamin C is water soluble and will be expelled in large quantity in your urine.

Boils are associated with a strain of staph bacteria.  The infection occurs in places where you shave more often than other places because of minute nicks in the skin, so washing with an antibacterial soap before shaving and disinfecting a razor between uses can go a long way toward preventing reoccurrence of boils.  People who are unusually prone to boils should consider vitamin E and A supplements as well.

Boils are localized tender, inflamed, pus-filled swellings in the skin surrounded by large red areas. They are infections of the hair follicles of the skin.\n\nBoils may be caused by staphylococcus germs, which enter the sweat glands or hair follicles. The essential cause of this disorder is thus bacterial. However, several factors predispose the growth of bacteria in hair follicles. Of these, the chief factor is a toxic condition in the blood stream, which is due to a faulty diet and frenetic pace of living. Boils generally appear when a person is in a run- down and devitalized condition.

Use salt, it doesn't go away as fast.  Just poor some in your hands and rub it on your wet skin.

When I was a little girl I used to get boils often. My mother would get a washcloth and soak it in very hot water then cover the boil. She would do that several times. That seemed to make it go away. It would shrink under the heat.

Boils are bumps in the skin which are often filled with pus.  Boils are formed under the skin when the hair follicles are infected by the staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria . More info on boils and home remedies for boils available at http://ailments.in/boil.html

Stay away from certain cough and cold medicines, mouth washes, tonics, sauces, vinegars,and any alcohol that may be absorbed through your skin from after-shave lotions, liniments, and other skin products.\n\nI really couldnt find a list of foods with hidden alcohol concentrates. Anything with high vinegar amounts you should stay away from.

It usually goes away on its own but you should put ice on it, a cold spoon. Use makeup or concealer to cover in the meanwhile.
