Boil on my face!...gross?

this is my first time having one, and i had it for about 4 days and its done leaking ,but now my face is swollen and im scaried, is that normal?, and if it is how do i stop it?plz help!
Answer:
nope its not normal go to doc
If your face is red and swollen then the abcess may have closed up, and the area of infection could be actually worsening and extending. You definately need go to the emergency room, or if its day time now at least an urgent care center or your doctor. DO it NOW. You may need the area lanced and drained by the doctor or if a local cellulitus has developed you may be put in the hospital on Intravenous antibiotics if it is severe. Your face is not far from your brain, and there is also a chance of the infection extending into your blood stream and making you sick all over. A good indicator is fever and headache. Go see a doctor now please.
PLEASE go to the doctor. I had two within 6 months. One was on my neck and the other on my are. It's called "cellulitis" or a boil. The one on my arm swelled up so bad from infection that my whole are turned beet red. It had to be lanced, drained and I spent 3 days in the hospital. The doc said if I hadn't gotten their sooner, I would have lost my arm. Now I have two ugly scars on my neck and arm. I hope yours gets better and you won't have to go through this.
boils can be deadly, especially if on the head. Go to the emergency room ASAP. I had one on my leg and I got so sick from it. The bacteria went into my system and they put me on IV antibiotics. They had to do surgery to remove all the infected tissue. Please dont let this heal on its own, this is scarring on your pretty face, the doc can assist you with the best advice. Take care hon.
