Mother won't take me to doctor to drain boil. it's inside my buttocks & it has a red spot in the middle which stings. it's the 2nd one in same spot. ?

Abscess drained : Try warm soaks or a sitz bath. Sounds like you need to see your PCP or Urgent Care to have it evaluated. If an abscess (large boil filled with puss) has formed, appropriate treatment is to have it drained.
