The best prevention for abscesses and also to protect spreading is to practice good hygiene.The skin must be kept clean with soap. A soap that has an anti-bacterial substance will provide the best protection. Single abscesses may be cleared with moist heat with no squeezing or further treatment needed. However, if the infection is near the nose, it is a dangerous condition as the infection could spread to the brain. Infections of this type should be under a doctor's care for treatment with oral antibiotics. A sample of the pus should be examined in a laboratory which will give the doctor information on the most effective antibiotic to use. Boil carbuncles may not affect hepatitis or blood sugar.
