Boils: A boil is a localized collection of pus and bacteria. This requires drainage and, often, antibiotics. As staph is extremely common, delay in treatment is not recommended. A simple procedure (incision and drainage) can be performed to remove the collection of pus and antibiotics is usually started by mouth. Warm compresses ma get them to open, but if there is redness and/or warmth go to an md!
