Boils, Absesses and Piercing
.....The piercing itself may feel hot, sore, swollen and appear redder in colour. More severe abscesses may also cause nausea and fever.
Though abscesses can heal themselves, it's safer to have the situation reviewed by your piercer or a doctor.
Most of the time, especially in the early stages, compresses can be successfully applied......
....Boils are similar in appearance to abscesses, but are more likely to be found at the site of the entry or exit points of the piercing.

What is Barber's Itch ?
Barber’s Itch
Other names: Folliculitis, tinea barbae, pseudofolliculitis barbae
Barber’s itch is an infection of the upper part of the hair follicles, which can occur anywhere on the skin.
It starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction due to clothing, a blocked follicle or shaving.
In most cases the follicles are infected with staphylococcus – more commonly known as staph.
Although not often a serious condition, severe cases of barber’s itch may cause permanent hair loss and scarring.
Barber’s itch usually occurs on the upper lip and is aggravated by shaving, but it also may occur on the neck or groin area.
There are various forms of folliculitis, depending on the bacteria involved and the affected area.
Deep folliculitis, which affects the entire hair follicle instead of just the top portion, is very painful.
Symptoms include:
Rash
Pimple-looking bumps that may crust over
Itching
Treatments include minimizing friction from clothing, avoiding shaving and keeping the area clean. Often this infection will clear up without treatment.
Use only clean washcloths when applying warm, moist compresses to promote drainage. Topical and oral antibiotics or antifungal medications may be prescribed.

Can You Treat Skin Boils with Violet Rays?
Early American Energy Medicine
The Marvel Violet Ray Book of Instructions
Eastern Laboratories, Inc.
Undated (Early Twentieth Century)
...All human ailments, with the exception of highly infectious and contagious diseases, are traceable to one cause: Imperfect circulation and impoverished blood.
During our youth, when we take plenty of exercise, enjoy sound sleep, our blood is rich and we insured of a copious supply to every part of our body.
Gradually, as we grow older, we pursue a more sedate mode of living and our circulation slows down at the same time. The flow of blood through our veins is slower and our whole body suffers.
SUMMARY EFFECT OF VIOLET RAY TREATMENT
When daily treatments are given with Violet Rays the following effects are observed:
Return of Sleep.
Increase of strength and vital energy.
Increase in cheerfulness and power for work.
Improvement in appetite, digestion, etc.
Increase of blood supply to the point of application.
General increase of local nutrition and progressive improvement in the general functions.
Increase of secretions.
Soothing effect on the nervous system.
Increase of oxygen in the blood. (Ozone being driven directly through the skin into the tissues, accomplishing "ozonization" of the blood.)

What is The Meaning Of Folliculitis?
The noun folliculitis has one meaning:
inflammation of a hair follicle
Folliculitis, is inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin.
