Draining Pus
Over time, the yellow-white pus may form a tip on top of the boil. This eventually ruptures and leads to the boil oozing pus and sometimes clear fluids.1‘Boils and Carbuncles - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 11 Sept. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/boils-and-carbuncles/symptoms-causes/syc-20353770 This also occurs after a doctor has lanced a boil.
Draining pus may be unsightly, but it's an important step toward healing. A person with a draining boil should keep the area around the boil clean using antibacterial soap and sterile dressings.2‘Boils.’ Nhs.uk, 17 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/boils/
