Im 32 yrs, female, non smoker. 4 days ago i felt what i believed was a boil on my buttcheek.  It is very painful.  It is about the size of a quarter, very swollen, it feels like a boil but i used black sab on it for 2 1/2 days and it hasnt done anything as of yet.  I tried to burst it althought its in the worse place so i can only reach 1 hand to touch it, nothing has come out but a little blood, i tried it again a day later and a tiny bit of pus came out but just on the tiny scab that is covering this thing.  Alls i can say is that it is day 4 and this thing is very painful.  I started to use bacitracin ointment last night, i havent felt a difference.  Right now i am trying to figure out if this is a spider bite or a cyst..i may have to make a trip to the emergency room. What would your advice be.  Thanks! Theresa.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Boils (an abscess) can be associated with significant pain. The definitive treatment of an abscess is incisive and Chat Doctor. This should be done at your doctor's office. In addition, a course of antibiotics may also be needed. I hope this helps
