Boils on my Outer ear
I have boils on my outer ear for the past five days, along with some pain, redness and swelling. I've been taking medications for the last two days—Taxim-O 200 and Aldigesic-SP. The pain and swelling are now under control, but the boils haven’t burst yet.
How many days does it usually take to return to a normal state? Also, which specialist should I consult—a dermatologist, a physician, or a surgeon?

Apply sumeg ointment over boils, 3 times daily for 4 to 5 days, do some warm compression daily.
They should become alright within 4 to 5 days, otherwise incision and drainage can be done.
