I have what looks like a boil on my chin, characterised by swelling and pain around the affected area, and it looks like there is pus. what should i do to treat it?

infection: Apply warm compresses to help it come to a head. If you get significant redness & swelling you may need to be assessed for an abscess or surrounding cellulitis.
