K I dont have scientific explanationfor this or anyway I can prove it to you maybe you can find it online somewhere... Im just suggesting it because it worked for me as a kid, and if my Sides get bad its what im going to use again. Everyone loves there egg whites and usualy throw away the yoke well save the yoke, get about 2 or three of them. Put it in a bowl dip in and rub on boils. Wait for 10-15 minutes while it dries, it will feel weird I know I used to do it on my face, but when you clean it off it feels really good. Someone whos lost all hope try it out and tell me how it workes for you.
