I'm a bit worried since my scan showed a polyp in my gall bladder. Is this similar to a stone, or is it more like an overgrown cell?

Boil on Foot _Healing Process_ 1. _Self-limiting_: Most boils heal on their own within 1-3 weeks. 2. _Warm compresses_: Applying warm compresses can help bring the pus to a head and encourage drainage. _When to See a Doctor_ 1. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience severe pain, swelling, redness, or pus. 2. _No improvement_: If the boil doesn't improve or worsens within 1-2 weeks. 3. _Recurring boils_: If you get recurring boils or have a weakened immune system. 4. _Fever or chills_: If you have a fever or chills, which can indicate a more serious infection. _Home Remedies_ 1. _Warm compresses_: Apply warm compresses 3-4 times a day. 2. _Keep clean_: Keep the affected area clean and dry. 3. _Avoid squeezing_: Avoid squeezing or popping the boil, as this can lead to infection.Last updated on 29 Jan 2025
