Put a piece of bacon fat on it, secured with a bandaid, and leave it on overnight. It should come to a head, bust or be gone the next day. This was grandma's home remedy. Sounds gross but it works!
I call them boils and the last time I had one I took a hot bath and it popped within a few hours. Sometimes they are painful and have a discharge once they pop.
Try a hot, moist tea bag on it (I've never had one but the tea bag thing works on stys, etc. so give it a shot). I also spoke to someone from... (her native country just went out of my mind), we were talking about my hibiscus and she said the petals are good to get rid of a boil (can't vouch for that though).
I once had one so bad I had to take off sick from work for a few days because I couldn't walk and it couldn't be bandaged. If you don't already, take a multi-vitamin. I did once and found it helped but I got away from it somehow and I suffer for it.
