Popped Boil Aftermath
I am treating a boil right below my waistline at home with a warm compress 3 times a day, it popped yesterday. When I removed the bandage this morning there appears to be a white scab along with some blood. Is it normal for the scab to be white, is it because of the moisture? Thanks
