Suggest Treatment For Painful Fluid Filled Boil Between Thigh And Pelvis

I ve had a boil/cyst on my bikini area for 4 weeks now which is getting larger and larger. I went to family doctor who gave me antibiotic cream, which I ve been using for 7 days and is not helping. I put a warm compress on it and it s getting larger with the warm compress. It hurts to walk at this point due to the area. Should I try to pop it. It looks angry and it s the size of a half dollar, length, width as well as height (an extremely large hard bubble). Help!
