Had my groin HS boil lanced almost 4 weeks ago and still waiting for it to heal. Recently went back for follow up and dermatologist used an electric tool to burn off the beefy pink skin and now it’s flat but still not healed yet. The spot is on the outside of the labia in the groin and every time I pee , it gets on the bandage and it’s soaked. So depressing and Im going on vacation in August and hoping it will be healed by then. Any suggestions to heal it faster
I would recommend a sitz bath.
It is a bowl that sits on the toilet you fill with water and Epsom salt (cost less than $10 for the bowl at most drugstores)
Alternatively soak in the tub with Epsom salt
Try a waterproof bandage. It has to be dry to heal faster. In CVS, you should be able to find something may be a long adhesive waterproof tape or self adhesive waterproof bandage.
Eat more turmeric and cumin in your diet. Basically everything that helps coagulation and healing both.
There is a dressing gauze which can help speed up the healing process, but is only available in uk.
Hi
whats it called I'm looking for more effective gauzes and plasters pls
I got some sample gauze, which is impregnated with plant extract, for dressing wounds, from a friend. it is very effective but he cant get them anymore.I can let you have a few for you to try. in the meantime I will keep searching for these dressings.
So can it be ordered and what’s the name of it
Thanks . I am currently doing the epsom soak in the bath tub. Is that ok? I was doing it once a day but should I be doing it more than one time a day?
I tried the water proof bandage but it just falls in the toilet after I pee. I did buy some turmeric capsules so maybe I will try that . How much of the termeric should I take per day ?
