I'm sorry you have another sore. Because of your previous reactions, I'd be a little nervous to give you advice on what to take. However, I would encourage you to wash that sore and the skin around it with soap and water, use warm compresses if you can tolerate it; and KEEP THE sore covered. Get to your doc as soon as you can to get it cultured so a sensistivity report can be done. For your other post: you don't have to have the bacteria in your blood to get a sore on your skin. Your skin harbors hundreds of bacteria; when you have a break in your skin (even something so small you can't tell), you can get an infection. Good luck.

For me, I put Manuka Honey on the boil and on a gauze pad over the boil and do that a few times a day. It seems to help my boils if I catch them early. Im allergic to sulpha too, so I cant take all the good meds (like Bactrim) either. But you should definitely goto the doctor, too! This is just a suggestion that kinda worked for me. Good luck :)
