Directions

Apply to the affected area as required. There is no difference in the quantity required for affected areas or for children, adults or the elderly. Stir well before use and apply liberally to the affected area. Cover with a dressing.

If in doubt, always talk to a healthcare professional.

Most boils get better without the need for medical treatment.

One of the best ways to speed up healing is to apply a warm, moist face cloth to the boil for 10-20 minutes, three or four times a day.

The heat increases the amount of blood circulating around the boil, which sends more infection-fighting white blood cells to the area.

When the boil bursts, cover it with sterile gauze or a dressing to prevent the spread of infection. Afterwards, wash your hands thoroughly using hot water and soap.

Never squeeze or pierce a boil because it could spread the infection.
