Tips on how to get rid of boils on inner thighs and buttocks

Here are some remedies that would help you in getting rid of boils:

1. Heat

If you apply heat to the boil during its initial stages, it reduces its growth remarkably. Heat effectively increases blood circulation around the boil. In this way, you enable your natural antibodies with the assistance of white blood cells to ward off the infection and pus inside.

You should do this for two or three days, depending on the size of the boil. At this time the pus drains out. When all the pus is out, you should wash the area with antibacterial soap and leave it to dry. You should put a bandage on it, if you do want to keep the boil open.

2.Turmeric Paste
