You should call your doctor and seek medical attention if:
the boil is located on your face, near your spine, or near your anus;
a boil is getting larger;
the pain is severe;
you have a fever;
the skin around the boil turns red or red streaks appear;
you have a heart murmur, diabetes, any problem with your immune system, or use immune-suppressing drugs (for example, corticosteroids or chemotherapy) and you develop a boil;
the boil has not improved after five to seven days of home treatment; or
you get many boils over several months.
