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.
At first, the skin turns red in the area of the infection, and a tender lump develops. After four to seven days, the lump starts turning white as pus collects under the skin. The most common places for boils to appear are on the face, neck, armpits, shoulders, and buttocks.
