Detailed Answer:
Assuming it is a simple boil, you can put hot compresses on it for several minutes several times a day. You can also put antibiotic ointment on it.

If it continues to grow in size, you may need to go in to see a doctor who will incise the boil using a clean technique, and allow it to drain.
