If you really want to know, why don't you ask her?

You could say, "Honey, some people think boils mean you are angry deep down inside about something and aren't talking about it. Is there anything you can think of that might be making you angry inside?" If she doesn't have an immediate answer you could say, "Well think about it and let me know if you think of anything that might have happened that made you angry so we can talk about it."

Some families have "no talk rules," where the kids aren't allowed to express their feelings, openly.

My family is not a part of "some" of the families you speak of. She can express her feelings as openly as possible without fear of there being any negative back lash or repercussions. I always ask her how she is feeling. We have a game kind of where we ask each other what type of emotion are we in, are we happy, sad, irritated, frustrated, mad, angry, sleepy, and then we ask why we are feeling this type of way. She asks me, I ask her; I try to maintain an open door policy for her, because I want her to be able to talk to me about anything. I personally believe it's the poor hygiene that she is allowed to get away with when she was at her granddad's house, and the poor diet she had while over there.

Glad your daughter's boil cleared up. The only thing I wanted to add is that when my daughter was about 4, she twice got very painful boils on her bottom. She was treated with Clindamycin and a topical antibiotic and the doctor had to lance one of them. Both times she got them my mom was in the hospital and I'd had to take my daughter up there with me. I always believed that she'd come into contact with a staph bacteria at the hospital and that was what had caused them.

So, if it's possible your daughter picked up the bacteria in that type of setting, you might keep it in mind for the future and avoid hospitals, nursing homes, etc. if at all possible.

Yea while my dad keeps her especially when I'm at work, he goes and visits his church members at the hospital too many times, or he has doctor appointments that he takes her to. I will be more aware of that.

Yet that somehow manifests itself as a boil on the backside.

Parents can usually tell if there is something bothering their children. Physically or emotionally. Yes emotional health does lead to general overall health. However, it doesn't boil down to a boil.

Default Results are in

Doctor just called and told me my daughter's lab results: she has Mersa, or Merca, something that begins with an M, a type of Staph infection that is resistant to antibodies, so she might still carry the strain or something. I guess she will keep with the bleach baths and whatnot. I don't wanna go through this again.

Where's your evidence?

As far as overall health Harvard has a fair amount to say about it

Quote:
Emotional well-being and mental health concerns are major health issues in their own right. But they can also greatly affect physical health. Stress, depression, and anxiety can contribute to a host of physical ailments including digestive disorders, sleep disturbances, and lack of energy. The challenge can be two-pronged: treat the mental and emotional health issues while also caring for the related physical ailments.
