"Being an effective remedy against pustules, hives, boils and many other scrofulous conditions. This is a robust potion of powerful character. Care should be taken when brewing. Prepared incorrectly this potion has been known to cause boils, rather than cure them..." — Zygmunt Budge, Book of Potions.
The Cure for Boils (also known as simply Boil Cure) was a potion which removed boils, such as those produced by the Pimple Jinx. It was an elementary potion and the recipe could be found in Magical Drafts and Potions and Book of Potions.
"Idiot boy! I suppose you added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire?"— Severus Snape lecturing Neville Longbottom for having failed to brew this potion correctly
If the potion was made successfully, there would be pink smoke raising from the cauldron.
