The area affected by the boil is sometimes larger than the boil itself.  Sometimes if the boil is broken too roughly, the area may seem larger than the original boil.  Keep the area clean and covered and don't worry-- it should heal soon.

I would not switch without the consent of the doctor prescribing the medication. You may have to taper off Effexor and then restart Celexa. Do NOT do this on your...

How can I get money back from a egift card that has already been delivered but has not been used?

If it was already delivered, you cannot get your money back. People could scam others if that was possible.

I've had this large boil on my left buttock.  I've been given me antibiotics and some pain pills, but the relief doesn't last long. My fear is that it's draining blood and not pus.

The only way to tell is to have someone take a look at the boil. If you can, carefully take off any bandages and use a mirror to check. Get some help...

Purchase a vice drill, which is a pencil-shaped vice with small drill bits. They are available in craft stores. You may need to purchase smaller drill bits if the hole...

Two to three gallons of gasoline spilled in the back of a RAV4 trunk area, onto the carpet. I've tried all of your suggestions and the smell has lessened, but is still pervasive. What else can I try?

Try baking soda with vinegar and a little warm water. If you park your car in a secure garage/inside, leave your doors open for as long as you can to...

I have a propane cylinder that has written on it in large letters "11kg", but I have weighed the cylinder and it's 20 kg. Is there 9 kg of propane left?

If the "11kg" appears after "TW" (for tare weight), then you are correct. The tare weight is the weight of the tank when empty.
