What can be used on a small septic wound without a prescription to draw out pus?

If you have a fever, the area around the wound is an angry red (more than a dark pink or simple red), or you are having serious pain see a doctor.If it's on an area like a hand where you can, soak the entire area in a hot salt water solution. If not, try putting a hot compress on it. Soak the cloth with hot salt water. Do this several times a day.At the drugstore you can get a "drawing salve" that will draw boils and infections to a head fairly quickly. Look for the active ingredient ichthammol or ichthyolin the ointment. Some have ichthammol in the name. CVS has one named 'Ichthammol Ointment'
