Is It Required To Meet Doctor For Boils In Skin Of A 6 Year Old Child?

My 6 year old has another growth in her armpit - she had a nasty boil which we finally got rid of after 3 lots of antibiotics. Do I need to get this seen? This one is not angry and red like the last one, but my daughter is already refusing to let me touch it...
