How to Cure Boils on Face

By Carla Glen


With the advent of social media nowadays, people put more effort in maintaining a pleasant appearance. One would always strive not to be pictured with bad hair-and especially bad skin.

And what is definite is that we will all experience any forms of skin problems from acne to boils on skin. Boils, also known as a furuncle, are characterized as a reddish bump and are usually filled with pus. There are actually many reasons for this skin infection to occur such as the bacterium staphylococcus aureus.

A boil in any part of the body generally causes pain on top of the reddish and bumpy appearance it creates on the skin. This alone would set one off especially when it chooses to grow on your face.

Boils on face are fairly common as the face is always exposed to everyday irritants, pollution, shaving, rubbing, etc. At the start, boils on face appear small almost to a size of a pimple then gradually enlarges as the pus increase.

The first thing that you should do to solve this problem is to specifically determine what may have caused it. Try to recall the products you are taking or new routine you are doing. For women who recently tried a new facial product or make-up, it is suggested to stop right away as it may have caused the furuncle. There are a lot of products that contain ingredients that might have caused this irritation.

Next, apply warm compress over the boil to prevent it from swelling any further. Other than for the purpose of cleansing the face, avoid touching the area as much as possible.

Like pimples and other skin problems on the face, boils should be treated with extra care otherwise it would scar or result to a permanent mark. You should not also squeeze it or attempt to drain it by yourself. You should consult your doctor or a dermatologist if you want to do so.

The need to cover the boil is would be highly normal so perhaps a small Band-Aid would suffice and do the trick. Just make sure that you check from time to time whether it has decided to burst already.

There are a lot of known home remedies for boils including those that grow on the face. Turmeric is famous for its anti-inflammatory properties. You can take it orally by adding it on a glass of warm water or make a paste out of it and apply directly on the boil. Then cover it with gauze and leave for several minutes.
