How do you pop a boil that is inside of your nose?
Question:
Answers:
If you know for sure it is a boil I'd see an MD -
I'd do some hot compresses to try to open the boil but the bacteria inside it is contagious and it will heal better if an MD does lance it and puts you on an antibiotic ointment or medication.

I often practice home "surgery" on my zits, ingrown hairs, etc, but I would not attempt to mess with anything inside my nose.
Breaking the skin inside your nose could give root to an infection, which could subsequently migrate inward--i.e., into the base of the brain. Blood from the nose (to be precise, from a triangular region of the face centered on the nose) drains to the rear of the head, where it joins various other veins, including the ones that drain blood out of your brain. If a nasal infection were to travel downstream and block this junction point, a condition known as intracranial thrombophlebitis, you'd have big problems. Not only would blood circulation be impaired, but any sort of surgical treatment might well result in disfigurement.
Do yourself a favor and see a doctor.
