Need help docs! my boil just popped! now i have a big hole?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Natural healing: The body 'knows' how to heal itself -and if the boil just popped, that's a good thing. Now all the nasty germs and infection can drain out, which is what the body wants. You WILL heal-even though there is a 'hole' there now, it will close quite quickly. Good to wash it out- with some alcohol or cleanser. If you have bacitracin I would apply that and cover it with a Bandaid to protect it.
