make sure you do not try and pop it like a zit because the bacteria in it can spread to the rest of the blood stream. However if you want to bring it to the surface wet a wash cloth put it in a plastic ziplock bag and put it in the microwave for 20 sec. Let it cool for a few then put it on the boil. This will bring it to the surface. Hope this helps

Home remedy's are not always a good idea, but when we were growing up and we would get a boil. The area around it was washed with soap and water and then a plain sewing needle was sterilized with the flame from a match and poked into the boil so it would drain. Dab the site with clean gauze.
