hot towels, moist heating pad, or hot bathes with 2c. of Epsom salts will help make the boil come to a head. Do this several times a day. Place alcohol on A cotton pad and let it rest on the boil for fifteen minutes after heat.

It probably has the same concept as putting canned veggies in a glass jar. You place a cold table knife in the container and then pour your hot liquid in it. It should work. Is it safe, I don't know, never tried it. But if you are not sure, I would put the flask in a pan so in case it breaks, it conceals the spill.

no, the only way to remove a boil is to have laser surgey or some type of surgey, if you keep picking at it a black scar will form. you have to wait for it to disappear on its own

Call your durg stores and ask do they have any drawing salve. Or try fat back but don't wash the salt off.
