Boil

One Friday afternoon, I noticed a pimple on my lower arm, near my elbows. Thinking it was a pimple, I was thankful that it didn't grew on my face.

However, it became so painful as couple of days went by. Another thing I noticed was that, it was reddening. Then, I suspected it was a boil. I hated having it, because I already hadone before and it was one of the worst things I ever experienced which also caused my keloid. I thought that I developed it because of the improvement reaction of Barley which I was intaking for a couple of days prior its growth.

It took 7 days before it became ripe. Imagine, I didn't took any medicine on the first 4 days after suspecting and confirming it was real boil. It was too painful and my entire arm was swelling but still I went to work. Only on the 4th day, I started taking 2 tablets of Acetaminophen (Pain Reliever) every 6 hours; and only on the 6th day, I started taking antibiotics because, I felt another one growing on my knee. On the same day, my Papa popped out some of the puss out of my elbow because I really can't take the pain anymore. Apparently, it wasn't still ripe enough, the eye of the boil was taken away only on the 7th day. And oh, it was sooooooooo painful but worth the relief! I swear. I asked my Papa to press all out the puss so that I won't have it again next time.When he pressed my arm, oh, that was terrible. I was crying like a child.

My mama told me, that I should have started taking antibiotics the moment I felt it was boil.
While my papa told me that I should have just rubbed vicks vaporub on it that moment I suspected it was a boil and it will no longer develop any longer.
Whew! I didn't know those tricks! If and only if!

The best trick of all, I will never ever eat street foods again. I recently craved for street foods like barbecue,  orange egg, etc... and maybe those were the cause of this suffering. I should inject my mind that no matter how hard I try to be as normal as others like eating such stuff, I shouldn't because I'm very susceptible to diseases and my skin is very sensitive.

I'll eat more fruits and veggies instead. Cleansing diet would be great!
