I've been told warm compresses help and I've used that method and it worked sometimes but not every time, but you can try it to see for yourself, God be with you. 🫂❤

Apple cider vinegar compress. I think it draws them out. I’ve been using it for years and don’t dilute, but it’s very strong so maybe dilute of you try it. Then I cover with a hydracolloid dressing. After a few days mine usually drain by themselves. And if they don’t drain, the dressing protects the skin for rubbing. Depending on the size, you can use dots for spots.
A hot bath can help draw them out, otherwise I put a dressing on it and that takes the edge off because it gives it cushioning and its not touching anything. Inadine is also good for drawing it out but check you're not allergic to it first :)
Warm baths help a lot, it just takes time so be patient. clean the boils with Hibiclens. Sometimes I even I do bleach bath just pour like a half cup in the tub with water it helped with the one that was on my backside all gone now. The ones that was open ended up closed. Make sure to do warm compress on them like I said it take time but eventually it will help. Make sure you’re not wearing clothes the irritate your skin inner thighs or leg no tight clothes only loose. Tight clothing will bring the boils right back sometimes worse. Hope this help. Also do your best to keep them dry I noticed they spread from moisture and sweat. The ones in the inner thigh and groin area.
