When To Call A Professional ?

and you develop high fever and chills along with the infection, a trip to a
hospital's Emergency Department is needed.
Contact your doctor whenever you have a carbuncle, a large boil or a boil that doesn't
improve after a week of home treatment as described in the section - Treatment. If you have diabetes, you should call your doctor even if you develop a small boil because you are more prone
to developing serious infections.
