See doctor ASAP: A boil is an infection. To help avoid complications, such as the infection spreading, you need to gave it drained and be placed on an appropriate antibiotic. Home treatment with water and white vinegar has a very small chance of success for a boil this size. Please make an appointment with your doctor today or go to an urgent care clinic.
