Hi,
Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!
I suggest to get the pus or other secretion coming out from the boil to be sent for culture and sensitivity. Based on the results, we can choose appropriate antibiotic to get it healed.
On the other hand, it may also have been formed as an abscess which requires surgical correction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have have any clarifications.
Wish you good health!
