Brief Answer:
See details below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
1.You can't do anything more than washing it well and keeping it clean.
2. It can't be removed by itself.
3. I don't believe a doctor at the ER can remove it. You should go to a surgeon to open it and drain it. Also he may give you oral antibiotics.
