I pop a hot as I can handle wet cloth on mine to draw them out. I was told not to use sudocream on them.

No just that it's to do with the scabbin. I do use it once it's stopped leaking to try and close the holes left x

I don't really know to be honest, but if the discomfort is too bad I think you ought to get someone to take a look at it. I use Sudocrem and this tends to help draw the boil out and dry it up. I also put dressings over to ease discomfort. Sorry wasn't much help x
