Is this one of "those" kind that might erupt? I get that type too.

If so . . .

- DON'T poke at it.
- in case you get tempted, DON'T poke at it!!
- leave it completely alone, except that ointment. Use that faithfully, as prescribed.
- After 2 - 3 weeks, start using hot compresses on it, once or twice a day
- DON'T poke at it, it will cause it to run and hide underground (till the next time it flares up)!

You will know when it's ready to drain and eventually one of the hot compresses will prompt it to.
