Boils over nose should not be popped out as this area is called danger area, blood drainage of the area being connected with brain. Bacterial infection should be dealt with proper antibiotic.
Next Steps
Kindly send picture of the affected area through Practo consult direct or you may consult me in person @ SkinKONNECT, C 43/1, Jhilmil Colony, Delhi 95
