I would go to my dr. and she would probably lance it to drain the fluid.

Call your Dr. You need antibiotics

You've got delicate lymph glands down there that could be permanently damaged by the infection and fluid retention. Really, it's best to see a doctor. - Bird

Tomorrow being Monday, I'd get myself to an urgent care center. Most boils, not all, are an infection caused by staph - nothing to fool around with. Other pathogens can be involved which are more serious. Please do have this evaluated in the next 24 hours.

I vote Urgent Care.

I can't thank you enough all who responded! I've taken that advice and see my doctor this afternoon.

PERFECT!

Good luck and please update with the results.

OP -

How did the visit go with your physician regarding the boil? Please do let us know.

Thanks!

I had a boil or two when I was a child, which required a penicillin shot at the time.
