Please help. 8 days pre-op and I have a boil.

I've had them before & I'll have them again. I sometimes have them drained at my PCP, but that's no fun because I'm allergic to lidocaine (so no local anesthesia for me). But NOW I fear that, if any of my WLS docs find out about this gigantic thing, they'll cancel my surgery. It's about the size of a key lime, in my pubic hair region (nice, huh?). I'm trying hot baths and hot washcloths. Can anybody give me any other tips to make this thing go away FAST! (Sorry for the long post.)
