how to heal a boil after its been popped
when a boil has been popped, and start draining fluid, it has passed the first stage of boil healing
it is now at the most dangerous stages.  Whether it will heal or lead to more serious skin infection depend entirely on what you do at this stage.
 A boil has  3 healing stages, the early stage before  healing , also known as the infection stage,  the draining stages and finally , the scabbing and scaring stage. Your boil that has popped is at the draining stage.
Here are what you should do at these stage to heal the boil ,
Apply warm compress
Boil a water, get a thing clothes, insert it into the hot water,  and take it out, squeeze out the excess water, and rub it over the boil gently, do this 3 to 4 times daily.
Use a warm bottle to get rid of the core
Warm a soda bottle, in a boiling water, remove it and put the rim of the bottle on the boil, do not allow any air to get into the bottle, the core of the boil will come out as a result of the virtual vacuum in the bottle due to pressure difference.
Use antibacterial soap to wash the boil and the hand all the time.
You followed the above thoroughly, your boil will reach the final healing stage, this is when a rough protective cover appear on the boil.  This is called a scab.
Precaution.
 At this draining  stage extra  care must be taken , for the following reason.
·         Your boil is draining pus , these pus contain infectious bacteria,  these bacteria can now be transmitted to other part of your body and cause more infection or can spread other people and cause more infection.
·         Extra care must be taken because at this stage , a simple boil can turn to a more severe carbuncle or skin abscesses.

1.       always clean pus using toilet paper and through away, do not use a towel, so that the infection do not spread  to other part of your body
2.       Use antibacterial soap for  bath and disinfectant for washing of clothes.
3.       Avoid body contact like hug, handshake etc, to avoid  spreading the infection.
