Is this a boil?
Question:
I cleaned it then put on some Neosporin and a band-aid. I'm going to ask my mom [a nurse] about it sometime tomorrow but I felt like getting some opinions.
Answers:
Could be a spider bite.especially if there is "two" white dots. They just sit there for weeks, if not over a month without healing, and pus comes out almost stringy white.
i had a staph infection and all my boils came up quick and irriating with in 24 hours not two weeks - and my puss was green - from infection - it may be a wart or blister ( hopefully)
if it took thislong i doubt it to be a boil but im not professional either
Sounds like a boil. Maybe an infected hair follicle. Best to check it out though. Might have been a bug bite too. If it is red & inflammed, best to have someone take a look at it.
My guess is an infected hair follicle. I get them from time to time. Definitely not a good idea to pick at them, but I for one can never resist. I find that a warm, wet washcloth will help the swelling go down. Don't worry about it, though. It's not really a big deal. It should heal soon.
