It is often warm and painful to touch. Boils can vary in size and can occur in multiple locations. To treat a boil infection at home you should apply a warm compress to the boil and the affected area several times a day. The warm compress will help to pull the pus to the top and help the boil to drain. It can take several days for the boil to drain. Once the boil has drained it is important to wash the area with warm water and anti bacterial soap. You should apply a gauze bandage to the area to prevent further infection or spreading.
