I have boil , that i have had for years on my left buttock cheek and now it sore how do i get rid of it?

Get it drained: This may be a boil or an infected cyst, since it's been there for years. The infection needs to be drained and controlled with antibiotics first. If there is a cyst present, a simple local anaesthetic and removal may be needed in the near future.
