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...

In the meantime you can apply topical antibiotic like muprocin 2 to 3 times.
