I have tried using Itchammol, Campho-Phenique, Tea-tree oil, and several other remedies, however, I have no luck. This is an embarrassing reoccurence that I have endured for several year...PLEASE HELP!!

I kept a food/symptoms journal and discovered that I get boils if I eat coconuts, peanuts, cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds, peanut butter , and any oils made from these. I've suffered from these unsightly extremely painful boils for years!! Not anymore!! Unless I break down and eat one of those foods. They all happen to be some of my favorite foods too.

I have personally found that using Thieves essential oil and Thieves wipes from Young Living work wonders to get rid of the boils faster, and I have a lower re-occurrence.

When we say boils are we talking zits basically? I've had zits in my inner thighs and armpits and buttox. Im a big guy but I'm very athletic and in good shape. I did have a staff abscess but tested negative for staff carrier and had it lanced. Naturally my zits pop...which is very gross. And they're not pretty to look at. How do I relieve myself of these disgusting anomalies?

Cut an onion into thick slices and put on the infected area and wrap it with something and be sure to change it about every 2 to 3 hours. Sounds stupid but trust me it really works no joke.

I suffered for years of boils on my thighs and buttocks and took meds and I got little relief. I finally found that if I cut out onions and garlic and related types of foods I would get no boils. Keep a food journal and you will find relief.

So I have been getting boils for over 15 years and tried everything however I also started getting them after surgery.I have been to several doctors over the years and I have heard it all ...I am fat....they are hereditary so I did research come to find out it is staff that I contracted 15 years ago at the same hospital that told me they were hereditary.I had one lansed and basically told them if they didn't test it for staff I was gonna call a lawyer....because they said testing the fluid wasn't normal prodical...it tested positive...I have been living with this for 15 years tired weak headaches achne...and they also told me 15 years ago I had lupus but was tested negative 3 months ago.this is something not to play with ...it kills more people than aids.so now I take 9 antibiotics a day for a month.....however I have done more research and came across a homeopathy called colloidal silver. Which I will be taking when the antibiotics are done.This is a natural cure all that none of the drs want u to know about because without pharmacies they wouldn't be in business.smh at our healthcare system...they was gonna let me die as a pose to finding out what was wrong with me....also my doctor told me it was fibromyalga ...wow

Boils are usually caused by staphylococcus bacteria (what you are referring to incorrectly as "staff"), so of course it was positive. Staph naturally occurs on our skin, it's when it gets inside or pushed deeper that it causes issues.
