Hi
OK, I know this is horrible but I've had what I can only assume is a boil on the top of my bottom cheek for about 3 - 4 weeks now. I first thought it was just a nasty spot so left it alone. It calmed down after a few weeks but it has flared up again and has gone inflamed and tender. It looks like a red ball on my bottom.
I'm going to phone the doctor tomorrow morning to see if I can get an appointment but upon Googling boils I saw that they can potentially be dangerous and cause blood poisoning and kill you. So now I'm panicking that I've left this boil stay there for so long that I've increased by chances of having blood poisoning. Is it bad that it's been there for nearly a month and I've done nothing about it?
