I had a boil on my chin after plucking hair. it finally swelled and drained. now i have a hard lump about 1 inch. how can i get rid of it?

Time: The firm area is a consolidation of the boil as the body is slowly taking care of it. Don't mess with it as it may cause scarring underneath the skin and you may en up with a permanent hard spot.
