How can boils on my chin be treated?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I started to have a boil on my chin and since I have had one before I decided to use the same treatment as the last time that is apple cider vinegar. When I put the treatment on the boil it did burn which I knew was a sign of it working. But, the day after, the boil did decrease in size and my skin later turned red with bumps, almost like it was rubbed raw. Do you think it was a boil? What should be the line of treatment? I am currently taking Cetrizine, Hydroxine, and Wellbutrin.
Please advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is because your skin is irritated with cider vinegar. Make sure that the pus inside the boil has been removed completely if any. The redness is the inflammation that persists because of the boil and aggravated by home treatment. You need to apply Fusidic acid and Hydrocortisone combination. This will help get over with the remaining infection and redness of the boil.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
