What Does A Boil Below The Abdomen Indicate?
I have a boil under my belly that was very large. It actually connected to my belly and right under the crease. It had been drained, but it still feels very hard under the skin. Is this normal to feel that hardness for awhile since the boil was so huge?

After Drain of Boil hardness is usually due post inflammatory changes because of infection
If you not feeling any pain and there is no red skin overlying and you have taken complete treatment of antibiotics than nothing to nothing to worry
you can apply olive oil over skin for 7 days to reduce hardening
