We finally hit on a combo. Daughter uses Prid and then a bandage with Makuna Honey on it. It'll pop a boil for her within a day or two. She's had two boils pop within a day of using this combination.
For my flare ups, I do warm compresses on and off for at least 15 minutes, I use this gel called Neuropaway gel that helps with shooting nerve pain, I also use this cream called Gotucream that is suppose to help with scars and healing. There is another product that I use which is Neuropaway Nighttime capsules, I take this when the pain is excruciating and not allowing me to sleep, and it also calms and numbs the nerve pain.
I take the hand warmers and use surgical tape and tape it on it overnight. 98% of the time the are draining by morning and pain is gone. Only a few times it took 2 overnights. But it still worked. Nothing else has helped me so I continue to do this when I get break outs especially when I get break outs that prevent me walking or wear clothes.
I have had some success using Vicks Vaporub! It seems to dull the pain and helps to start draining sooner. I use it on draining cysts and use it when I feel one coming on, it has actually stopped a few from becoming full blown! I have heard that it’s the mentholatum that helps!
Australian Tea tree oil directly applied to the flares. After some few days the flares "dry out". That had been my experience.
I apply natural Aloe Vera afterwards to moisture the skin around the flares.
Fast recovery to you!
