How do you heal a .....

I'm prone to a saddle sore in one specific area. I've noticed that if I apply neosporin or bag balm after I ride that I don't develop a saddle sore, even with higher mileage rides.

For blind large "boils" I use Magnesium sulfate-glyerol paste on a small piece of guaze taped to the spot to draw the infection out. Also pawpaw ointment (Lucas is one brand) which is great for chaffing, cuts, boils etc. I have a jar of it and after my shower I smear it on. It's also good for babies nappy rash.

I had a similar saddle sore. It would go away between rides but then pop back up after a ride. My doctor prescribed an anti-bacterial cream, which helped immensely and I thought it had gone. Then after a particularly long ride, it popped back up again. Then the doctor prescribed a course of antibiotics and the problem appears to be gone forever.

So, if I were you I'd talk to my doctor and get it fixed once and for all.

Epsom Salt and Baking Soda hot water baths for 20-30 minutes.

Hot Epsom salts bath. Then a combination of tea tree oil and Rosemary essential oil applied daily right after the bath. This worked for the one small sore that just would not go away. One week, and it was gone and it has not returned. Rosemary oil is antiseptic, and tea tree oil is antibacterial and a disinfectant.

Of course, make sure you are not allergic before using.

Ow.
No advice, just best wishes.

That's it. The hot water method worked for me as well...not too long ago. It might take a bit of time, but it works fine. But if you are not sure than see a doctor first. just to be sure.
