A boil is a skin infection that starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. At first, the skin turns red in the area of the infection, and a tender lump develops. After 4-7 days, the lump starts turning white as pus collects under the skin.
The most common places for boils to appear are on the face, neck, armpits, shoulders, and buttocks. When one forms on the eyelid, it is called a sty.
If several boils appear in a group, this is a more serious type of infection called a carbuncle.

Boils On The Forehead

Go to the doctor and get a derm referral. Your forehead is not a good place to pop something as it could leave a scar. There is something called drawing salve that you could put on it to continue drawing the infection out. It is brown and smells so I would put it on the boil before bed and then place a bandaid over it.

either go to a dermatoligist if you can afford it and ask for their help, or do a drying mask and how for the best. poking it will just make it worse. applying a heated damp towel should help the puss rise to the surface and perhaps it will open and drain on its own. but its better to not pop it just have the bump and then cover it with concealer, than try to cover a scab from picking and poking at it with concealer.

poke it, then put benzyol peroxide or any other acne cream that could kill bacteria then put a concealer.
