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.
