One way to treat a boil (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lance

(Other definitions for lance that I've seen before include "Long-shafted weapon" , "Spear carried by mounted soldier" , "corporal may have at the front" , "Horseman's long spear" , "Knightly weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
