I was told by a doctor not to soak in a hot bath because you can reinfect the boil and that is true. I stoped going that and my boils don't get as big. I even found out by using a hot compress it does the same thing(boil gets bigger) Now I jut use Colloidal Silver, cover it and forget about it and it goes away faster.

If you take the Colloidal Silver internally by mouth instead of topically, you will stop having boils. Colloidal Silver Solution is easy to make yourself and has been known to cure MRSA. Or you can buy it in a health food store. I had a staph like infection that produced cysts and boils and even Johns Hopkins couldn't identify it. It recurred over a 2 year period. Then I started using Colloidal Silver and it was CURED. Now I make my own and have even found it builds up the immune system.
