am a bit Blush so be gentle with me.

I have a boil.

It won't pop and the redness has spread to about a hand-span around the actual boil. It feels hot to the touch and the whole area is sore and hurts (can hardly move!)

Have tried putting germolene and hydrocortisone cream on it but neither seem to be helping.

Have tried to make an out of hours doc appt but my docs says "emergency" only. It's fecking hurting but I don't reckon it's an emergency.

dp out with the car so can't get to chemist or anything right now.

Any advice?

(will I die?)
