Answer Question

    Try hot packs to get it to become a white head then go to your doctor and have them open it and drain it.  Try not to pick at it.  Boils can  be very painful, if so go to your doctor right away.

      You should contact your doctor immediately... Boils are caused by a bacteria called staph, they are an infection and if the toxins from the boils get into the blood stream you can become very ill and even end up hospitalized!
