Hi,
Boil is due to staphylococcus infection. Following treatment will help you by consulting lady family physician. Apply mupirocin ointment. Apply warm pad application. Take frequent hot bath. Wear pure cotton loose inner and maintain proper pelvic hygiene. If not resolved then it should be excised.
Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.
Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
