POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Clean the skin daily in the shower or bath with a soap-free wash or gentle antibacterial soap. ...Cover the abscess with an absorbent dressing after washing the skin. ...Avoid squeezing the abscess because it will be extremely painful for your child.Warm compresses, antibiotic cream like Neosporin, and Epsom salt soaks can work quickly to provide relief from boils. Use a warm compress for 20 minutes, up to 3-4 times per day. Overnight, apply Neosporin cream to help address the bacteria and clear up the infection.This is usually because a child carries a strain of bacteria that can easily cause infection of any broken skin (minor cuts and scrapes). It's important to treat all household members with skin infections to stop the infection spreading. Your doctor may take a swab of the boil to see what treatment is best.
