How to get rid of boil on thigh. warm compresses not helping, area is more red and inflamed? boil first formed 4 days ago.

See doctor: If a warm compress is not working after 3-4 days, then you need to see a doctor so that they can lance and drain the infection. Then, you'll get antibiotics to take. Without breaking the walls surrounding the infection, the antibiotics may not be able to penetrate through. You'll still do warm compresses to improve blood flow to the area.
