Boils

The kids here get boils all the time. I don’t know what causes it, but it’s really gross and really sad. They get them on their heads, which then need to be shaved. When they shave them, there are patches around the boils because they can’t get close enough with the razor. It is so sad to see. It really breaks my heart when these pretty little girls have to get their heads shaved.

Last night, I had to get rid of a boil on this one kid’s head. It is utterly disgusting. You have to pop it like a zit, which is apparently horribly painful, judging by the kid’s scream. You know, this job is really hard sometimes, but hearing these kids’ puny cries makes it all worthwhile.
