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 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!

I take the hard 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.

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!
