Boil not healing.

2021-01-02 08:10:20
My father got a boil about a week ago which is not healing at all. Applied Betadine then it started to look dry, but it is turning yellow everytime and whitish yellow pus is coming out after that blood. Looking like an incision is made and blood is not stopping. This boil is on the waist region. What medicine should be taken for this?
