Hello,
This might sound ridiculous, but it has driven me crazy. I have had a hard time sleeping over this, please help!
This year, I have gotten 4 boils (all on my bum). 1 in April and 3 in July. They all healed, however I never got them cultured, which terrifies me. I did go to the doctor in August ( I tried getting an appointment in July and couldn't) but the boils had already healed. She did prescribe antibiotics, and I took them even though they had healed.
I decided to do a Google search on boils, and have been completely horrified with what I read to the point of insomnia and loss of appetite.
My main worry right now, is that I plan on going to the dentist soon, however I read somewhere that if you have had boils , it puts you at a higher risk of getting an infection if you go to the hospital for surgery or get dental work (not sure how true that is). I have a dr's appointment on Monday, and will ask.
But please, if anyone has dealt with this, give me some sanity because I am terrified out of my mind
