Walk-In Skin Boil Treatment Near Hitchcock, Texas

Skin boils—or pus-filled bumps on the skin—are a surprisingly common problem that can cause tenderness, pain, and embarrassment. Thankfully, Affinity Urgent Care makes receiving treatment for skin boils and other non-life-threatening health concerns simple. Our fully equipped urgent care location near Hitchcock, Texas, is open every day during extended hours and welcomes pediatric and adult patients on a walk-in basis.

Do All Skin Boils Require Treatment?

No, not all skin boils require treatment, but treating the boil may be preferable if it’s located on a visible area such as the face, neck, or arm. It’s also a good idea to visit a trusted immediate care provider like Affinity Urgent Care for treatment if a skin boil:

• Occurs in a group (known as a carbuncle)
• Develops alongside a fever
• Causes intense pain
• Goes away and then returns
• Remains after two weeks
• Does not improve with self-care measures, such as placing a warm, wet compress on the boil to encourage natural drainage (never prick or pop a boil at home!)

A medical professional can safely drain skin boils, bandage the area, prevent infection, and prescribe antibiotics for more severe boils, if necessary.
