Ever since Lyme ruined by once healthy immune system...I get repeated boils. Since I have become allergic to almost all antibiotics right noe, does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried hot compress, but still not gone after 5 days now.

Perhaps you can put Tea Tree oil on it?
It's works for me for lots of skin stuff. Boils, pimples, etc. ...

Benadryl cream worked for me, but I never tried tea tree oil, maybe I will try that next time. Maybe even coconut oil would work too?

I use colloidal siver topically on resistent infections. I use a few drops in the ears when we get ear infections, and it works quickly. It has even worked for me on those nasty underground zits. I hope your boils get better soon. Ouch!

You can use a hot pack and/or a drawing salve, which I think is what people mentioned above.
Cheers,

Bag Balm I have had these eruptions since being on mepron had 4 of them one a month. I put alcohol on them then after it drys I put bag balm on them they cleared up in about a week the top of the boil area will turn soft thin and then break and then you need to clean and re-apply bag balm it worked great for me.
I only ever had one or two of these in my life then when I was on mepron I would get one a month. If you can catch them early say when the area just starts getting red or inflammed I stopped two different ones 2 different times on my right cheek next to my nose.
