Thanks all. Think I've got some dressings left over from an old problem so might pop to my sisters and get her to put one on, just in case. Will help it stop rubbing on my bra too. And take the ibuprofen in the meantime.
try to squeeze it if you are game enough, or get someone else to.....use a sterilised needle if necessary. then use the dressing. it will be painful if you don't.....
She's had a good squeeze of it. But she said it was purple and really hard underneath still so she's going to have another good squeeze tomorrow. By god it hurt. God it covered up for the time being.
get a needle and pierce the thing!!!! it just needs a little help to escape.....i have many boils (due to acne) and this is the only way to deal with them. you can squeeze them to kingdom come but all it will do is bloody hurt. get a sodding needle at it!!!! x
