I need your advice.... I have a pimple - boil....for 4 or 5 days... It is painful and couldn't get sleep well because of pain. I tried to apply alcohol on pimple for few days and put hot water on washcloth. Not successful... So, should I go and see my family doctor or go to Emergency Room?

Hi,
From history it seems that you got infected pimples.
Go for one antibiotic medicine like Doxycyclne for few days.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
