This depends on each person’s physical condition. Generally, treatment takes about a week. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies heat boils into the category of "warm poison", commonly known as fire boils. It is an inflammation caused by the infection of suppurative bacteria in the skin and soft tissues. The cause is caused by the hot weather in summer and autumn, or exposure to the sun and the feeling of heat poison; or it is caused by heat poison. Summer dampness stagnates and steams the skin, resulting in poor sweating, resulting in acne and paralysis, which is caused by repeated menstruation, scratching, wounds, and poisoning. Most commonly occur on the head and face. Common pyogenic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus aureus, etc. After infection, the human body will show symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and later suppuration.

It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for external treatment. For initial redness, swelling and pain, you can use Tong Ren Tang’s detoxification ointment externally, and Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets and Sanhuang Tablets internally. You can also use Yinqiao Baidu Pills (powder) and drink honeysuckle supplements. Treat with antibiotics promptly. After suppuration, surgical incision and drainage are required. Apply carbolic acid to the pus point or use a needle to remove the pus plug, or perform incision and drainage. Squeezing is contraindicated. After pus emerges, nitrofuracil, wet gauze strips, or Chinese ointments used to dispel putrefaction and promote muscle growth are supplemented until the lesions subside.

Foods to eat: Foods that are cold in nature and have the effect of clearing stomach fire and purging intestinal heat, such as millet, wheat, tofu, mung beans, mung bean sprouts, bitter melon, winter melon, cucumber, amaranth, cabbage, Celery, wild rice, watermelon, banana, loquat, pear, peach, rabbit meat, etc.

As long as you don’t squeeze it, gently wash the affected area, use Baiduobang (mupirocin ointment), apply it on the boil, and leave it gently for a while. Apply several times, about 5 times a day. Disappears in 3 to 7 days. It hurts a little, and there may be pus in the final stage. Don't use a needle to pick it out, so it won't leave scars.
