When it turns a white, put a sterile gauze pad on there to absorb the fluid that is in the boil. Also try soaking in a Tub with Peroxide in your water. That will help clear up the boils. It does mine anyway. i get them all the time.

Pop that zit. I have the same problem. Well, maybe different. It's called Cystic Acne. Not just zits. Have fun.

Have you been checked for Cellulitis? If you're only getting boils in one place on your leg, combined with general swelling and pain in that area, it could be a more serious infection. Get that checked out by a doctor.

Do you shave that area at all? A doctor told me they arent boils, but cysts caused by ingrown hairs. Maybe waxing or using veet after they completely heal might help.

be tested for diabetes, boils are signs of them starting, and see a doctor about antibiotics, never squeeze them pull them or you'll sink the core in deeper

Go see a doctor right away! You problably have some kind of sytemic infection that won't go away w/o antibiotics.He can run blood tests, as well as look at the affected area, and figure out the overall problem. It could localized (cellulitis), it could be an early sign of diabetes, you could have a staph or strep infection. Don't break them! That can cause them to spread and get worse.

BTW, the potatoe thing will work, but it is just a temporary fix. It won't cure the problem, make it go away, or tell you where it begins. Go to a dr!
