If you don't have antibiotics at home..just pop out the middle area (where the pus is ). The best method as they say is using an empty soda bottle. Place the mouth of it above the boil then push on to the boil fast. This is painful but you can be sure the whole pus will come out then clean it up with betadine until it heals. I have seen one done..and it healed well. Hope this helps. God bless

Take several aspirin talbets (cheap aspirin is fine all aspirin is the same)
Dissolve them in a tiny bit of warm to hot water make a paste and put it over and all around the boil - leave it on for at least a half an hour or more - do not cover it. You will be surprised how it pulls the skin and more applications, if necessary, will diminish the boil without infection.

Warm compresses is what is recommended. That should bring it to a head so that it opens on it's own. Do not pop it. If you have tea tree oil you can apply that to help it.
