I think i have a boil on my lower stomach. it was very red/ purplish and painful. it never popped but its flat now and still discolored and extremely itchy. been using antibiotic cream and covering with bandaids. also skin is kinda shiny?

If it is not healing, you should have it looked at. If it is not open, you can probably leave it open to air after applying the antibiotic cream. Good luck!
