Live staphylococcus bacteria are very aggressive, being released once the boil pops. To avoid spreading the infection:- Wash your hands after treating an open boil.
- Avoid baths when a boil is draining.
- Keep a loose covering over open boils, as this will reduce the chance of this bacteria spreading to other areas or to other people.
- Disinfect and sanitize washcloths used to treat boils at home to prevent the spread of this bacterium.
Small boils can be popped at home. Placing the inner layer of an eggshell over a boil will bring it to a head in a few hours. If you have a fever, if red streaks are present or if the boil is large seek medical assistance. Once a boil forms a head, use a sterilized needle to open a small hole in the boil. Gently squeeze the area around the boil. Properly dispose any materials used in this process, as the fluids may be contagious.
