See a Dr: Unfortunately, a skin infection such as a boil cannot be treated completely at home. You will need to see a Dr, who will likely lance the boil and remove the contents. Depending on the size, the Dr will fill the open space with an antibacterial material, and will probably write you a prescription for an oral antibiotic as well. It is important that you are seen soon as skin infections can spread
