I have a boil on my breast that doc said is ok, but redness has spread from boil to about 3 inches around the outside of the boil. need to be seen?

Yes: If the area of redness and swelling is getting bigger, you need to be evaluated. Sometimes antibiotics or incision and drainage is needed. Best wishes!
