See a doctor for boils on the face, around the eye or near the spine. Boils usually heal in a couple of weeks. If it isn't healing on its own by the first week, it's time to see the doctor. I recommend calling the doc to make an appointment if your boil hasn't started draining after 7 days. One boil that heals all by itself isn't really a big problem.
How long a boil lasts. Boils are often painful. The skin covering and around the bump is tender, making it susceptible to skin breakage that may lead to further skin infection. Boils often occur in body regions that are humid and may last for some days to weeks to fully heal, depending on how severe the infection is.
