Incision and Drainage
for Boils
A doctor makes a small incision to drain a large or persistent boil. This relieves pain quickly and allows the infection to heal.
How it works
Removing the pus reduces bacterial load and relieves pressure, allowing the body to clear the remaining infection.
What to watch for
Should always be done by a healthcare professional. Do not attempt to drain boils at home with sharp implements.
