I KNOW the pain you are in!. I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa,!.!.!.!.!.do you have this!? www!.hs-usa!.org There is alot of support on the Yahoogroups with many sufferers who can help with ideas!.
What I usually do if it gets bad like this, IS the hot, wet compressess!. You may just want to SIT in the hottest tub of water you can stand a few times!. If you have a shower with those removable handles you can direct the hot stream of water right where you need it to go!. That will help you!. You don't want to poke it as you may make the infection go systemic and you believe you me, you don't want this!! Have you tried any over the counter (OTC) products such as Boil Ease!. Bag Balm may help as well!. Tea Tree oil has great anti-bacterial properties but DO NOT put it directly into an open wound!.!.!.painful!!
If you are going to poke it, you might try using a diabetic lancet!.!.!.!.they're already sterile and the needle is shallow!.
As the previous person stated, have alot of paper towels, towels on the ground around you as it will be pretty messy/bloody!. Do not poke directly down but just prick the top of the softest part of the boil on an angle just to make a small, teeny tiny weakness of the boil!. The pressure inside will do the rest!. Get a product called Hibiclens, it OTC at most Drug Stores, as it is a surgical type of wash!. Make sure you cover it with gauze and bandages as it WILL leak more
Take care friend!. Hope you find relief soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're talking about something like a big pimple that's either really red or just about purple, be prepared for a lot of bloody pus to come out of that thing!. If it hurts that badly, try sterilizing a sewing needle with alcohol and then gently pricking the center of the thing until either you see a small spot of blood or until you feel the prick and it hurts!. Then, grit your teeth, and like a pimple, just squeeze it until it blows!. Make sure you have a LOT of tissues nearby, and be careful because it may actually explode like a volcano and you'll have bloody pus everywhere!. After you get it out, wipe and squeeze, repeating the process until it feels like you have it all out!. Sometimes there's a pebble-like pus inside, kinda like a regular pimple or blackhead, and if you don't get that out the thing will just reform and you'll be at it all over again!. After you're done, swab it with either alcohol or peroxide, slather some antibiotic ointment on it and put a band-aid over it!. I'm attaching a website about boils, and strangely, the site says not to pop it at all, but I know how painful and annoying they are, and sometimes they just don't go away on their own!. Also, you don't mention where the thing is, so obviously if it's located somewhere like right on your genitals, then it's a really really bad idea to pop it! Good luck and God blessWww@Answer-Health@Com
Use some type of menthol cream!. I have used Vicks vaporub and covered it with a band aid and this will ease the pain and draw out the pus that has accumulated in there!. Then be sure to use some antibiotic cream like neosporin or triple antibiotic that you buy over the counter!. it should feel better and get better in a few days!.
Don't try to squeeze it because your fingers will infect it more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had a boil in between my legs once!. Like near my genital area but not there!. And i did exactly as this other person is telling u!. Sterilizing a needle, squeezing everything from it!. It hurt i gotta tell u, But I had to do it, It looked and felt like a tiny mountain on my skin, extremely sensitive!. I kept it clean and changed my pants!. Plus I changed the sheets constantly so it wouldn't come back!. Good luck i hope u get rid of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
