As soon as you see a boil forming. The paste should be put onto a dressing then applied, it needs to be changed daily until it draws all the muck out. It will take a while for the head to form could be a day, could be a few, but it will draw out everything. The paste should not be applied to broken skin.

How long do you leave a Magnesium sulfate paste on?
I wish I knew the answer to this question because I'm going through the same thing. I have been using magnesium sulphate paste on a boil on my inner thigh for a week. I use it once everyday and I apply a generous blob on it and then I cover it with a bandaid. I heard that the paste works by absorbing the water from the boil, it actually absorbs water from the air. The bandaid is used to keep the paste in place and to prevent further infection/ spreading of the boil. I noticed that each night that I would remove the plaster, the boil seemed soft and larger. I dont understand how it is supposed to heal and get rid of the boil. I stopped the paste after approx 7 days because no pus seems to come out, just some blood. But I still cleaned it and put a plaste bacl on it. Tough skin covers it and it is pea sized but a bit painful. I heard it takes a week to work and a week to heal? Please help. Should I continue to use the paste for another week or even two before seeing the Doctor? Perhaps I need antibiotics? Im 26 and first time is happened. I had an ingrown hair and it became infected. I think its still an ingrown hair which continues to be infected? Help
The formula of magnesium chloride gas?
The chemical formula of magnesium chloride is MgCl2 and is not a gas. Magnesium chloride boil at 1 412 0C.
How can you separate copper sulphate solution from water by simple distillation?
You can boil the solution and collect and condense the water vapor until all of the water is gone. That will leave you with the solid copper sulphate. You will have to let the copper sulphate dry to remove all of the water.
The burning magnesium becomes uncontrolled oops how will this procedural error affect the reported mole ratio of nagnesium to oxygen in the analysis?
You will end up having less oxygen because it goes in doubles, and it is considered as flammable, and magnesium wouldn't burn if you didn't trap oxygen inside the magnesium foil. Some of the Magnesium WILL boil away as it burns, but you will end up with less oxidation anyway.
What temperature does magnesium boil at?
The boiling point of Magnesium is 1994 degrees Fahrenheit. The freezing point of Magnesium is 1202 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is commonly referred to as melting point when a substance is approaching it from its solid state and is referred to as freezing point when a substance is approaching it from its liquid state.
Is there an alternative for magnesium sulphate paste?
Yes, there is a few alternatives. One is called boil-ez, it contains the same ingredients and can be found at any pharmacy.
Can you use magnesium sulphate on a vaginal boil?
No, you cannot use it since it will damage the surface of the lining tissue of the vagina.
How do you get rid of boils if you don't have Magnesium Sulphate Paste?

How do you separate magnesium sulphate from water?
One way is to simply boil off or evaporate the water, and the MagSulfate will crystalize in the bottom. In water being used for drilling, Sulfates are a problem, so we hit it with Lime (Calcium), the Calcium will combine with the sulfate, and the Calcium Sulfate will precipitate out. The Magnesium will combine with the OH anion and the water PH rises because MgOH is caustic. We then use a little acid to adjust the Ph back down. Hope this helps!
What happens when you mix sulphuric acid with magnesium metal?
Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2↑Magnesium(s) + Sulfuric Acid(aq) → Magnesium sulfate(aq) + Hydrogen(g)Many metals will react with acids to produce hydrogen, so they too produce hydrogen with sulfuric acid. The hydrogen will be produced from the protons creacted by the acid, and the remainder will become a salt (in aqueous solution) with the metal. If you boil away the remaining acid and water you would be left with crystals of magnesium sulphate. Without removing the water, the magnesium will still be dissolved, and be ionized: Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Mg+2(aq) + SO4-2(aq) + H2(g)
