ANH, I'm on Humira also. Sometimes I get a boil and it disappears and sometimes it drain a little and disappear. When I get a boil and it's there for at least 2 days, I make it burst, drain and disinfectant it with hot water and a little bleach. πŸ˜€

They pop and drain and fill back up then start all over again eventually mine start to make the tunnels under the skin and sometimes they connect to other ones that are close by I just had one cut out of my inner thighs he had to remove all the skin all the way down to the muscle it is terrible

Mine finally burst and drain. They eventually close up but never go away. I just wait for them to get full, burst and drain again. Can't take Humira because I'm already on a biologic for Rheumatoid Arthritis. On antibiotics now because one just burst and it was very inflamed and swollen. I now have to consider surgery to have the track removed. ☹

When I get a boil they are super painful and eventually burst but mine never really go away. Plus it seems like they start flaring again quicker than they used to.
