I have a boil just under my left knee. It showed up a few days ago and itches really bad, but when I scratch it it hurts like a mother, so I've been trying to keep from scratching even though the itching is driving me crazy. How should I treat it? Should I leave it alone or wash it a lot or what? The last time I had I boil I was 2 and my mom doesn't remember how she took care of it.
