Answers:
You should seek medical attention to see if it is in fact a boil or a sebaceous cyst. If it is painful you can buy medication over the counter that contains lidocaine that will help numb it, and you can put warm compresses on it to help with the pain. But you really need to have a doctor look at it.

Other Answers:
yuck, cut it off or something cuz thats kinda gross

You need to see a doctor asap.

I know this sounds crazy, but it's a home cure that actually works. Cut a potato in half and hold it to the boil. The potato will draw the boil to the surface. Don't believe it'll work? Put the potato on the boil just for a minute...and then feel of the potato, it will be hot just from the heat of the boil. If you notice a lot of swelling or reddening on the outside of the boil that persists for more than a week, go see your doctor asap. Don't try lancing it yourself; that's an invitation for a staff infection that could kill you.
