Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

the main treatment of a boil is incision and drainage. Incision implies opening the boil open and drainage implies emptying the boil. The pains you are feeling is due to the fact that the abscess has already collected.

A bartholin abscess has to excluded since you said the boil is at the level of the labia. Bartholin abscess inscision and drainage requires a special technique known as marsupialisation if not the abscess with recollect.

It is possible to do it under careful local anesthesia. Aspiration with a syringe could give you some mild relieve but only for a few hours.

Best regards
Dr TANKOU
