A boil, growing in size.

2017-05-14 13:56:12
This boil was paining since last week. I applied hot water bag to it yesterday. Now its growing even bigger, and does not seem likely to burst. There is no white area yet, from where a boil usually bursts.

This is limited information about your skin condition and will not help in planning a treatment. A thorough history, clinical examination and appropriate laboratory tests will be needed to solve the mystery. Consider seeing a Dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
