I'm dealing with a boil on my arm, and it just won't stop leaking pus. Should I put anything on it or just let it be? Is it better to keep it open or should I cover it with a band-aid and wait for it to get better? I'm a bit worried about what to do.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
