How to treat a boil after popped and is still letting out pus?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
See doc: Sounds like a small abscess which has spontaneously drained- that is good. You may however need it to be opened more to allow adequate drainage, and may need antibiotics.Best to let doc have a look at it.

See a doctor: Get this looked at it might need opened up more or a cyst lining removed or it might need antibiotics the greatest healing effect will come from being sure it is completely drained/exposed.

Keep it covered: Need to keep the wound moist. Apply antibiotic ointment is the simplest. Cover with some kind of a dressing.
