Question:
I have this boil that popped 2 months ago and it still has a hole were it popped and it is still letting out puss. I keep it clean, but I work in a place were I sweat a lot. I can't get it to heal!

Answers:
Try applying antibiotic ointment, and covering with a sterile gauze pad. If it doesn't seem to be healing after a couple of days, see your doctor. You may need oral antibiotics.
keep it dry and leave it alone...where is it? If it is on your butt ..try not to sit too much
