I need a quick remedy to stop inflamation, and release the infection ( other than hot compresses) on a Boil!!

Unfortunately hot compresses are the fastest and best way to release the infection contained in a boil. The only other fast method requires incision and drainage, and is done in the doctors office with a local anesthetic and sterile tools. You can also take antibiotics, but that isn't quick and it just helps hasten the eventual draining process. Old time cures included smearing the surface of the skin with grease and other potions, but that usually just makes things worse. Sorry, heat is the fastest and best method. Don't try squeezing it yourself either. If you rupture it beneath the skin, the infection spreads, makes a larger or second boil, and generally makes things even worse. If it has formed a central spot of pus easily identifiable, you can sometimes apply heat and use a sterilized needle to gently prick the top. It hurts like a booger, and if it's not ready to drain completely it won't.
