A member asked:
I have a boil on my nipple do i pop it or keep adding heat till it pops on its on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heat: Best to add heat until it pops on its own so the bacteria will not be driven deeper into the tissues. You can put antibiotic ointment on it as well. If it persists, your physician can use sterile equipment to open it and allow drainage.
