Hi Tera.....ahhh..the boils ! Arent' they lovely! I get them all the time and they hurt like a ...well... a you know what ! Most of mine I can't 'pop' because they are too deep, if that makes sense. Sometimes I squeeze so hard, they burst on the inside, I can feel it, but that is bad. With in a matter of minutes I literally feel sick to my stomach. I talked to my doctor about that and he said to leave them alone because if it is a cyst or a boil it could be filled with toxins. Easy for him to say. I am a picker and can't seem to leave them alone, sometimes a hot towel on them seems to help with the pain and sometimes mine even itch. I wish I could be more helpfull, but, at least you know you are not alone.
