If a boil is bothering you, a little iodine may help when applied directly to the skin. As it soaks in, the iodine kills the bacteria and is soothing and calming.

Who knew there were so many treatment options for boils? Castor Oil is another good one. It has been known to be able to bring out "impurities." Apply a small amount to your boil with a Q-tip or cotton ball, and then place a band-aid over it to keep the oil in place.

Using water that is as hot as can be tolerated without scalding the skin, run a bath. Pour in one half to one cup of Epsom salt around the bottom of the tub. Soak in this bath for a minimum of thirty minutes each day until the boil is completely gone.

The hot water and salt mixture will help out infection that is within the boil. Make sure to wash the towels and clothes that the person with boils uses is washed properly and separately from other people’s clothing items. It is also recommended to wash out the tub using antiseptic cleaners before being used by anyone else.
