SouthernStar asked: I have a boil that won’t go away (and it hurts). [Is it a boil?] What do I need to do in order to treat it? I have a boil in my pelvic area, next to my thigh. It is big as a golf ball (and is painful). I tried soaking in the tub, and taking antibiotics the doctor gave me. It STILL hurts. I am running out of options. What should I do?
