  3. Small boil on Scalp. Be worried of?

Small boil on Scalp

2016-04-08 13:58:55
Hi I have a small boil on my scalp. It's already been around 4 weeks but it's not going away. It doesn't have any impact of antibiotics on it. During sleep sometime it gets burst. But gets filled up later in day to its original size. Is it normal? Or is it something that I should be worried of ?

Get an Incision & Drainage(I & D) from a surgeon for Recurrent boils. Hot compresses also help.
