Product Didnt Ease My Pain

This Product Doesnt really work for me. Im a person whom gets boils frequently, on the neck, buttocks, genitals and underarms, From the size of a pea to the size of a quarter. This product doesnt really relieve the pain, but just make my body stink. I relied on the product for the extreme pain from the boils but didn't help me. I believe at some points it seems like the product helps draw the boil to an head, but overall it doesnt work for me. I'd rather stick to the Warm compressents, antibiotics or PRID.. Thanks

It Works for Me!!
By HS SuffererVerified Reviewer from Phoenix, AZ on 10/23/2007

Easy To Use, Effective, Promotes Healing, Safe
Best Uses:
Keep In The Medicine Cabinet, Keep In The Trunk, Long Term Use
Describe Yourself:

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product works. I have HS, which is a skin condition that exhibits itself in chronic, very painful, often large boils or clusters of boils. I use this product as the boils begin to swell and it not only eases the pain, but helps the boil to open and drain. This is the ONLY over-the-counter product that I have found to be effective for the HS lesions.

Relieves Minor Pain
By Carolyn from Texas on 5/21/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Safe
Cons:
Ineffective
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good for use on newly forming boils only. Doesn't help much after boil has completely developed. Ingreients have changed to only relieve mild pain, not draw the infection out like black or drawing salve.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!

Pros:
Easy To Use, Effective, Promotes Healing, Safe

My grandmother (a RN) told me about this product 20 years ago. If you have a boil/abcess, just apply, cover, and by the morning, the pain and throbbing will have ended.
