Pulling ointment for a boil

Pulling ointment is suitable for purulent inflammations, as they are also present with a boil. It has an antibacterial effect and inhibits the flow of sebum, which is helpful for a fast healing of the furuncle. When used with pulling ointment, it can also lead to spontaneous emptying of the pus from the boil. It should be noted that some people are allergic to pulling ointment, which is why the compatibility should be tested on intact skin, e.g. on the arm. During pregnancy and lactation the application should be discussed with the doctor.

Betaisodona in a boil

Betaisodona is a germicidal ointment and can also be used to treat a furuncle. Its effectiveness is based on its iodine content. The iodine has an antibacterial effect and leads to a brown coloration of the ointment. The ointment can be applied several times a day. In case of thyroid disease or pregnancy, the application must be discussed with the doctor.

Home remedy against a boil

The affected skin area should be left alone. Under no circumstances should an attempt be made to express the boil. This can worsen the inflammation.

The boil should not be touched with the fingers. There is a risk of germ transfer. Therefore hygiene is very important.

The affected area should always be sufficiently cleaned and disinfected. Heat promotes the maturation of the furuncle, so that it can empty itself spontaneously and heal. Antimicrobial compresses also help against boils, as well as compresses with chamomile or thyme.

Tea tree oil has an antibacterial effect and can therefore accelerate the healing process in the case of a boil. Furthermore, it ensures that the skin is dried out or degreased, which also has a positive effect. However, there are a few things to pay attention to when using tea tree oil.

Beforehand, it should be tested on another part of the skin to see if the tea tree oil is tolerated. Some people may suffer from allergies. In addition, Tea Tree Oil should not be used undiluted over a large area.

It can also be applied undiluted to small areas such as a pimple or boil. However, this is not necessary, as Tea Tree Oil is very effective even when diluted. The Tea Tree Oil can be applied to the affected area with a small cotton swab or stick.
