I get those too. Hold a warm towel on it, whatever you do DO NOT pop it. I learned that from experience. It will get bigger. Also If you are female' (sorry I didn't look before I started to answer) and it is under where your bra sits try putting on powder before you put on the bra.

There is a product you can get over the counter called boil-ease. Ask your local pharmacist if they carry it.

Place a warm, damp heat source on it.  That will help draw out the pus.  If it is leaking it is beginning to tract and come to the surface.\n\nOne of the best ways is to put a damp cloth in a plastic baggie and microwave for 15-20 seconds.  DO NOT BURN YOURSELF!!!\n\nOther items that help draw out infection are warm salt water soaks.\n\nIf you go to the DR you can get antibiotics or just let nature take its course.  If extended redness, heat, or streaking occurs go see a DR as the infection is spreading.\n\nHave a good one.

I know this sounds painful (which it is to a degree), but if you leave it alone for a couple of days, it will soon fester, and you can easily remove it with a pair of tweezers or a needle. Make sure they are sterile before you do it, though. \n\nAnother way to do it is to get a good drawing salve, like Watkins drawing salve, or bag balm. Apply it to the site, and cover with a band aid. It will help to bring it to the surface so you can easily get it out.

Hi Ronnie\n\nHere are some ideas on how to heal them.\n\nCause\nThe infection is usually due to the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. \n\nRecurrent boils can occur in people with decreased immune function, diabetes, chronic gastrointestinal problems, under active thyroid, lowered resistance due to borderline nutrient deficiencies, and chronic emotional stress. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nNote: Bursting a boil can spread it, leaving scars, and usually does no good until the core is expelled. \n\nAromatherapy: Draw out the boil with bergamot, lavender, chamomile, and clary sage. \n\nAyurveda: To bring boil to a head, apply a poultice of cooked onions. Wrap in cloth and do not apply onion directly to boils. Application of a paste of 1/2 teaspoon each of tumeric and ginger powder directly to boil. \n\nDiet: Eat plenty of green, orange, and yellow vegetables, which are cleansing (try to have at least four different types of green vegetables a day, and keep this up for at least six months). Increase fluids, drinking water throughout the day, and drinking water with juice of fresh lemon and one teaspoon of chlorophyll upon rising and before bed. Also avoid over-consumption of white sugar and white flour products. \n\nFlower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® can be applied (minimum four times a day) on unbroken skin around, but not directly on, boils. Flower essences for negative feelings surrounding the problem, such as Rescue Remedy® to help alleviate stress or Crab Apple for low self-esteem, negative body image, and feeling toxic. \n\nHerbs: A blend of the tinctures of echinacea, cleavers, and yellowdock in equal parts, taken one teaspoonful three times a day can help speed the healing time for boils. Additionally, drinking a cup of an infusion of nettle, preferably fresh herb, twice a day, can be helpful. \n\nHomeopathy: Bellis, Belladonna, Hepar sulph., Arnica, Silicea, Apis mel., Arsen alb., and Lachesis are all useful homeopathic remedies that can be taken alone or in combination with each other. Phytolacca is another useful remedy, but it must be taken alone. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n\nJuice Therapy: Juice of parsley, spinach, celery, and pineapple may help to purify the blood. As an alternative, beet root juice can also be used, and is a traditional remedy used in Europe to help treat boils.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can all be helpful for treating boils, due to their ability to boost immunity: garlic capsules, kelp, chlorophyll, proteolytic (pancreatic) enzymes (taken on empty stomach two to three times daily away from meals), vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, raw thymus glandular, and zinc.\n\nFor boils compounded by chronic emotional stress, also consider adrenal and thymus glandulars, vitamin B5 (1 gram four times daily), and vitamin C (1 gram every hour).\n\nTopical Treatment: Apply a mixture of honey, the oil from vitamins E and A, and zinc oxide to the infected areas. Do this several times a day, up to once per hour. Other effective topical treatments include a poultice of goldenseal root powder paste, hot Epsom salt pack (two tablespoons in one cup water), tea tree oil, or a poultice of one part sesame oil and one part lime juice mixed and applied externally.\n\nColloidal silver applied topically can also result in marked improvements.\n\nAlternative Professional Care

When I was a little girl I used to get boils often. My mother would get a washcloth and soak it in very hot water then cover the boil. She would do that several times. That seemed to make it go away. It would shrink under the heat.

If you are willing to do it, buy some ginger root cut it up and smash it with a heavy pan, tie it up in cheese cloth or a clean rag. Put it in a pot of water and let it heat up, just when you see bubbles form like its about to boil turn the stove off, you don't want it to boil. Then take two clean rags leave one dry and dip the other into the water. Place the hot rag over the dry one so you can still feel the heat from the rag but not on your naked skin.Keep doing that till you get relief

heat it and if that doesn't help go to the doctors. If it is swollen definitely go the doctors.

bring it to a dermatologist. the wart is located in your face so any DIY remedy might result in a nasty scar.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse. I would not lance it yourself, you can get an infection.If you are sure it is a boil/cyst, then you can buy magnesium sulphate paste from the chemist, apply a small amount  and cover it with a pad. It should draw the poison out.Or you can get your doctor to lance it.After it has burst, apply some Aloe Vera gel to it, but keep it covered for a few days.\n\nGloria(BSYA)
