I got a big boil on my inner thigh that started Sunday it grew in size and yesterday it was throbbing like crazy because of the pain . Last night I decided to do a paste with tumeric Tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar and left on overnight the pressure isn't as bad anymore but it hasn't popped should I continue this home remedy will it eventually burst ? I don't really want it to go away because I'm afraid it will come back again eventually in the same spot ugh I've been suffering since I was 15 and I'm 27 now I have scars all in my inner thighs because of this .. help

    It may or may not burst on its own. Though it will relieve the pressure and some of the pain all the pus may not come out and will just cause more infection to rebuild. Try talking with a surgeon about using a needle and draining the fluid out without surgery. Hope it helps. A compress as hot as your skin can handle will also draw the pus out.

    Hi what you need to do is see your doctor and get ab's.  This should tackle the infection.  You might be left with still some matter in it but it might never come back in the same place again.  I had a couple that did recur several times though and a surgeon removed them  and they have never come back there.  x

    I have had the exact same experience.  I did some research and the solution really is Zinc.  I read an article where people took divided doses of 90mg of Zinc Gluconate and 80% went into remission. I tried the zinc gluconate but, it make it worse for me. Then, I tried Zinc Picolinate...which is more readily absorbed and IT WORKS.  I have been lesion free for YEARS.   Please please please try it....it really does work.  I started with 2x 44 mg per day and eventually tapered down to 44mg 1x per day.  You need to supplement with Copper....2mg per day...this can be found in many multivitamins as zinc can deplete you of copper.  Please try it...my scars are actually as flat ans soft as they could possibly be now and it has literally been years since I've had this condition (after suffering for 30 years).  Good luck!
