A quick way to break a H.S spot looks like pimple but isnt, is to make a paste with baking soda and a dab of water.

Place it on a band aid and cover the spot. Leave it on for a day, next day get it wet in shower for example and leave on. Usually within 2 days the spot breaks and leaks out. Can continue for a few days to get it all out. Takes a long time for redness to heal but at least its under control

    From the minute you feel like the boil is coming up you keep it clean and warm. Applying warm/hot water on the boil, 2 times a day makes it grow and break in fast and helps to ease the pain. But must be under a running water for hygienic reasons. Sometimes I use warm cottons too. Beside that I never touch the boil with naked hands, use clean cottons to use antiseptic solutions, cover it with gauze.
