I started getting boils all the time mostly under my armpits. I hit my highest weight of 293lbs! Boils seemed to come back to back, mostly no relief, it was a nightmare! I started my weight loss journey and dropped 60lbs only then did I stop getting boils. But the damage had been done. My armpits look awful, and I'm very self conscious about lifting my arms or wearing short sleeves. The boils left horrible scars. Can plastic surgery help somewhat make my armpits look nice again.
I used a biore black head strip on my nose and it seems to have left a chemical burn behind! When I cleaned it it looks as if someone scrapped or peeled back deep layers of skin around the one spot and now the boils keep popping up on the end. HELP! I dont know how to treat this :(
I've had issues with MRSA, staph and boils over the past 3 years and they have finally gone after almost 3 yrs. I wake up, come home from work, and one before I go to bed. I use a tea tree body wash all over my body then as soon as I get out of the shower I put coconut oil all over my body aswell everytime I shower. I honestly don't want to spend like a fortune to get it off I just would love more advice at to getting rid of the scarring with anything else please!
When I was 15 I started getting huge boils some got as big as a grape. Earlier this year the doctor had to lance one under my left armpit (again). Both arms have healed but the scar tissue is so painful and has gotten to the point where it hurts to put my arms down in their natural positions. The scars are also tender to touch and constantly break open and get infected again. Would it be recommended that I have the scars removed and if so would it be beneficial?
I started getting these boils since I started putting on weight as a child. Losing weight didn't help get rid of them. What surgery or treatment can I have to remove them an the scars. It's also still darker than my actual skin color in those areas. I am brown skinned woman.
I got a really bad boil on my face over 2 months ago. It took 1 month for wound to heal over, and now almost 2 months for the redness to go away. After a shower it gets really red and gross. How do I treat this and make the skin look normal again? It looks like a circle in a circle. Thanks!
