Q: i got a boil on butt it's getting bigger and harder and it hurts?

: You should have this evaluated by a doctor. It may need to be lanced in order for it to heal. Once it is lanced, it would be treated with antibiotic ointment to avoid infection. So your doctor to have this evaluated. Good luck!
