I am treating a boil right below my waistline at home with a warm compress 3 times a day, it popped yesterday. When I removed the bandage this morning there appears to be a white scab along with some blood. Is it normal for the scab to be white, is it because of the moisture? Thanks
It's normal for the scab to appear white, especially if it's been exposed to moisture from the warm compresses. The white appearance could be due to the healing process, where the tissue is regenerating. Just keep the area clean and dry to avoid further irritation or infection.
