I had this boil on my lower lip since the last 5 days. It got real big and my lip has swollen because of it. Today, while asleep, i think it got ruptured cause white puss was showing from it. So i decided to get it out. I drained all the puss and something that appeared to be like a 2mm long thread and blood came out. Assuming the core to be round and not thread-like, i tried to squeeze hard without any success. I washed the wound with anti-biotics. The swelling has diminished a bit. Is the core still in? Will the stupid boil reappear??? Christmas is only 5 days away... Please help, please....... :-( :-( :-(
