What Causes Boils On The Inner Thigh?

I had a boil on my inner thigh lanced 2 days ago. No packing was put in, i have been cleaning it each day, but it s still hard as a rock. When i clean it i try to squeeze it to get something out but so far nothing, do i need to go back or is it ok. It itches, and i am taking my medications as prescribed.

Please have antibiotics and get your sugar levels tested. It takes several days before the hardness goes away. However if you are having fever and the discharge is also becoming more in quantity, them you should see your doctor. You may take anti allergic for itching
