Abscesses and boils – 7 best homeopathic medicines

Boils are usually small areas (penny or nickel size) with a thin covering of skin, while abscesses are larger raised areas on the skin that are tender to touch and filled with pus in the deeper tissue.

Abscesses and boils may drain when the skin over the infected area opens and lets the fluid or pus out.

An abscess under your skin is easy to see. It may appear red, raised and swollen. The skin over the centre of the abscess may be thin.

  • Problems with the immune system
  • Poor nutrition
  • Poor hygiene
  • Exposure to harsh chemicals that irritate the skin
