What do you do after a pus boil has drainged and have a hole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: You probably need an antibiotic to clear up the infection so see your doctor. Leave the hole alone so more pus can drain out .It will seal up on its own. You can apply warm compresses to the area.
