Hi Alan 07,
Many Years ago I was in the army out East and had a spell in Hospital where we had to help out on the wards, There was a guy who had 41 Boils on his legs and the Indian Doctor prescribed a paste made up of Glycerine and Magh Sulph (Epsom Salts) which was applied twice a day and yes it did work, The Salts were the drawing Agent , and The Glycerine was the soothing agent. Good Luck. Alligator
