Boils on butt keep coming back!!!

have you seen a doctor for them

You know hun, I do respect your way of looking at things and I'm all for DIY-ing it where possible as well. For boils, which honestly I think I had one on my neck once though it might just have been a real bad pimple as well, I think I'd try the warm compress method which you see recommended quite often, and then perhaps honey, which is a natural antibacterial agent. I only suggest that because topical antibiotics are often the recommended medical treatment... so if that doesn't work, then yeah, go see your GP for sure. If I had that, it would affect my whole body image, not to mention the pain of actually sitting on boils all the time. Get rid of them however you can, including with allopathic treatments, Rosie.

Use chemical wart remover to burn off the boils. Then apply iodine and powdered bone - todry the area.

Yes. That's good advice Guest. I would use 1 part seaweed based beauty serum to 10 parts strong iodine solution.

hey rosie ,im a strong beliver of natural remedies too ,depending on how bad they are ,imean if they get infected ,or get worst then yea i would see a doc,i think your right ,i think diet and exercises ,is imporant too ,which i do that too,i use some natural remedy my self ,at least to try first ,before i run to the doc,i dont like to see docs ha ha ,but some guest have provided some remidies ,you might try them ,but ive never heard of them

Hmm... I don't know anything about you but the "many, many years" comment leads me to believe you're not in your teens or twenties anymore. That's what I would be concerned about. Boils have a way of showing up in younger women, which usually has something to do with hormonal imbalances, estrogen and the like, so if you were younger I'd say soak them and use tea tree oil in your sitz bath, but if you are in your forties or beyond, I'd be more concerned and I'd definitely see a doctor to make sure you don't have some underlying hormonal problem and to get a prescription for your boils.

You know, home treatment is a completely realistic option for most boils. Boils might be unpleasant and disgusting, but they are not uncommon and are usually not complicated either. The fact that you say that these boils keep on coming makes me wonder if it is time to see a doctor after all, though, because that isn't exactly meant to happen and could be the sign of Hidradenitis suppurativa, which is a more chronic condition. You might benefit from antibiotics, and you need a prescription to get those. If you do have that, the boils will not go away by themselves and getting treatment sooner rather than later is best.  

 I've never had boils myself. I might have had them when I was smaller, but I'm not sure if they were just pimples. I do have a friend that had boils. She got rid of them. The first way you can get rid of boils is Turmeric. All you have to do is mix it with ginger. Then you should apply this mixture to the boil. Another way uses Tea Tree Oil. All you have to do is put a drop of it on the boil. This works very effectively. My friend used it and in a matter of days, the boil disappeared.  I really hope your boils go away. I hope that at least one of these tips will help you. Good Luck :).

I just wanted to pop by here as well and say I feel for you. :( That is a nasty problem to be dealing with, and on such a sensitive and important part of your body as well!

I think you're looking at using natural treatments (lots suggested already) as complementary to medical treatment. Repeated boils are not normal and you are not dealing with a routine boil like many people sometimes get if they keep coming back. You need a doctor. Lioness is thinking what I am thinking, you might even have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. Look up the symptoms and see if they match. (Most cases don't look like what you'd see on Google Images.)

I know this is an old post but I also suffer from boils on my butt. I went to see my doctor because I read online that it could turn into a serious staph infection. Mine wasn’t thank the Lord and I was given antibiotics and she had to lance it because it was so large. She told me to go home and soak in a bath as hot as I could stand it with Epsom salts 3 times a day, 2 times a day at the minimum for at least 15 minutes at a time. And mine cleared up until 3 days ago when I had to wear jeans and go on a long car ride and in and out of the car. It irritated it all over again and it’s coming back. But I’m back on the hot baths and I can feel the Epsom salts pulling the infection out. Hope this helps.

Does it have a head mine don't have a heard
