Accidentally discovered my new holy grail

Discussion

So I always get boils on my buttcheeks, in my groin or on my pubic mound areas. I've stabbed jabbed and lanced to no avail many times. I had a stubborn boil on my butt that had been there for almost 2 years. I used hit compresses, lancing, ichthamol, slept w hot hands taped on. Every cream. Nothing worked. I had bought some hydrocolloid bandaids because they're smooth and stick well and was tired of the boil rubbing the other cheek- so I used one on it and the next day the boil was drained and flat and hasnt came back since. Might I also mention my boils never drain. They never form a head hence why I'm always poking and prodding. Rarely then would pus come out, usually just blood. They would get hard and red and hurt and then go back down for awhile and then come back and do the same thing. So anyone having the same issue might try one. Don't get the ones with the cotton pad inside them that look like an actual bandaid. Get the ones that look like skin colored squishy rubber. They almost melt onto your skin w body heat and stay put. They form a seal so the pus doesn't come out, just make sure it's big enough to cover the boil and leave some room. I found the ones for the back of the heel work well. Get the generic brand to save money.
