Specializes in Internal Medicine

Boil (abscess): I think you are asking if there is a benefit to catching it early, meaning before it gets big? If you have something that feels sore like a pimple, use warm compresses or baths several times a day and antibiotic ointment. If it continues to grow and get more painful you will need to see a doctor.
