  5. I had a boil on my hip line about 4 months ago which had to be surgically cut to get rid of the puss. Now i think its happening again. I have just started feeling that pain but feel no boil as of now. Is there any way to stop it before it grows?

Take Action Now_ 1. *Warm compresses*: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day. 2. *Keep the area clean*: Wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. *Antibacterial ointment*: Apply an over-the-counter antibacterial ointment to help prevent infection. 4. *Pain management*: Take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to manage discomfort.
