To help dry up a boil, you can use the following:

- Alcohol: Apply alcohol on a cotton pad and leave it on the area for a few minutes. Alcohol helps to dry out the boil.
- Aloe Vera or Coconut Oil: After using alcohol, you can apply a little aloe vera or coconut oil to the area once it dries out.

Hi Beth. My boils after they burst and drain, they dry up by themselves. If a bandage is needed, something like Vaseline, A&D ointment can be put to keep the bandage from sticking.
