What should i do about this boil on my face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dermatologist: Often times a boil can be drained or even injected with steroids which would dramatically improve the spot and reduce the inflammation. Occasionally we would culture the area and rarely we would use antibiotics. Clinical exam would dictate which path we would take.
