Avatar m tn i got heat boils on my penis glans... b'cause of heat or wat... how to cure that... help me...
Avatar f tn Yep, they're boils and they hurt like hell. I have one on the crease where my buttcheek meets my legs. Keep it dry and covered, with a bandaid/gauze, and it should go away soon. And by no means, please do not try popping it. It will make it worse by causing infection or spreading the pus even more.
Avatar n tn Sometimes I get small 5 to 6 water filled boils on my penis the next day after sex. This is not happening frequently. In the last one year I did not have this problem but before I have had this 4 to 5 times in the past. If I do not break them when they are small, they come into contact and turn into a big boil and once it is broken pain starts and turns into a wound. I had a consulted a doctor who told me not to worry and advised me to apply some cream.
Avatar n tn While I waited for my prescription to be filled I purchased a heating pad and laid in bed ALL day applying heat. I also took 3-4 semi-baths, where I sat on the edge of the tub and ran hot water (as hot as I could stand) over the affected areas. That night I took my first dose of antibiotics. By the next morning, the boils started to shrink! Every day I took my antibiotics, 2-3 semi-baths and applied heat at night before bedtime.
Avatar m tn Will I be at risk? Also, I had a reddish heat boils on left thigh..not open wound..will i be at risk it touches there also? Its been 4 weeks, no symptoms..I just saw a small birthmark under my armpit..only this one..is this any symptom? From what I read, HIV bacteria needs a proper environment for it to work its infectiousness and outside the body,and mixing with other substance will kill the bacteria. Is that true.. I m kinda getting paranoid going crazy doc.....Thanks doc.
Avatar m tn since the past month have small boils, that erupt all over the back, arms, and legs which turn into scabs and are itchy to discomfort. Apply coconut oil, and creames but no help except temperory relief. waiting for allergy blood reading, which they have taken 3 weeks ago!Live in Belgium.
Avatar f tn I have been getting boils for almost 4 years now. If it is a boil like mine, just know these are not caused by not being clean because believe me when I say, I shower everyday. Here is a website giving more info about boils - the cause of boils, etc.. http://www.medicinenet.com/boils/article.htm The first one appeared when I was pg with our little boy & it was on my buttocks which is also known as pilonidal cyst.
Avatar m tn I do remember the boils, though, and the torture of my mother using a needle to pop the boils on the backs of my thighs and squeezing. Now, though, I'm wondering if they were possibly blisters as an allergic response to the hot vinyl car seat on my bare skin rather than boils. I remember that my mother said they were boils. Being that I was so young and I couldn't see back there, how would I know? I do know that I've always had a lot of allergies.
Avatar n tn They are sometimes soft, sometimes hard, red, sometimes puss filled um I thought maybe they were boils like I get on my face or other body parts sometimes but I'm not sure if those are possible in the groin area. I am a female and not sexually active. They come and go randomly and I don't know the cause.
Avatar m tn Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. For boils, apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head. Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription. If there are recurrent boils, then please get your blood sugar levels estimated.
Avatar n tn i have 7 boils on my vigina and the DR. put me on antibiotics and they went away and now they came back. I shave too. I didn't know if that is why i keep getting them. Can they spread? If I have sex will my partner get them.
Avatar m tn I have a few bumps around my anus. They are pimple sized, they don't hurt or itch and aren't puss filled. The only real bother is cosmetic because I don't want them. I shave in that area. They don't match the pictures of ingrown hairs, boils or herpes (even the mild cases). I put ache cream on them. I haven't been sexually active in 6 months and have never had anal intercourse. Where I live it is very hot and I tend to sweat a lot because I'm outside for most of the day.
Avatar m tn A couple months ago I had small red spots(pin ***** sized) show up on my shins. They don't itch and are in areas about 2 inches by 4 inches. Well all of a sudden one of them swelled and looked like a pimple. It popped and then preceeded to get bigger and hurt like heck. I kept neosporin on it but it didn't seem to help. Also they didn't get "infected" like they were at first, they were obviously inflamed but no puss.
5727104 tn?1377401271 I've gotten 4 of them on my legs 3 on the one leg, and 1 on the other. They look like boils, and they are hard and when u squeeze them puss comes out. How come I keep getting so many??? I went to Kenya in the summer, and that's when it all started... Heres a picture of what it looks like (the lighting is kind of bad) http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=f2qwox&s=5#.
Avatar f tn Im getting boils on my inner thighs..wat can i do to make them go away?...so embrassing..
Avatar f tn Has anyone else got them while pregnant I've had about 4 of them already while pregnant I only got it once when I wasn't pregnant it hurts so bad i have one on each side of the inside of my thighs. I stay clean I take a shower every night anyone know I would keep getting them?
Avatar f tn I think a lot of it has to do with me being large breasted. My bras tend to enhance the boils, summer is a bummer! Add heat, bra rubbing, and sweat ... I get HUGE boils ... They get sore, swollen, and I am sick of it! When they do go away, they leave ugly holes and scars! Sometimes they even permanently discolor the old site. Is there any help out there at all for this?
Avatar n tn I am having a lot of boils omy forehead. I have one boil on my chest and one in my arm. I am really scared. Is Folliculitis sign of HIV? Thanks.
Avatar n tn For a few years now, always around the end of the school year/summer, I get large blisters on my legs. Some years it has been one leg, sometimes it has been both. Please excuse the fact that I dont know the technical terms for things, but I'll try and describe it the best way I can. The blisters are almost always perfectly round, most of them about half an inch in diameter. They are tall, and the best way I can describe them are ''bubbles''.
Avatar n tn It sounds alot to me like you have some folliculitis. It's a huge pain in the butt ;-). I get it on my back, butt, and legs, and so far I've had a hard time getting rid of it. I did the whole antibiotics course a while back, and it helps temporarily but not really in the long run. I would maybe give the antibiotics a shot, but try to see a derm who would be better equipped to help you long term.
Avatar n tn ) They gave me this pamphlet about it and I saw pictures of women who get them on their underarms like me, legs, and on the lips of the vagina. I recently got one on the labia and it hurt so bad. The doctor gives antibiotics to prevent spreading and to get rid of it because it is an infection. Sometime if they get to big to fast they will lance it with a scapal and line it with doctors tape to let the pus and blood drain out (not a pleasant odor). Hope this helps...
Avatar f tn I was just wondering if anyone else is getting really big boils and if there's anything I can do?! I'm 12 wks. And I have them on my face, Ear, under breast, in between legs and it's very painful I need help!
Avatar f tn Then a week or so later i had a blister come up on my vagina and went to dr and she said it was herpes and gave me valtrax for that, then a week later i had 6 boils come up around the top of my legs. Now i am a heavy woman and my legs are big. So my question is, Do boils and herpes have something in common? Is something wrong with my body ? and who do i see a gyn. or my regular dr. thank you for your help.
Avatar m tn I have been for about 4 years now getting what I thought were ingrown hairs on the back of my legs. Well as I read up I come to realize that since it is persistent that it is likely folliculitus. I have tried everything to get rid of this once and for all.. I have use Noxzema, Clean and Clear (and all sorts of other cleaners with Triclosan in them); I have tried using Neosporin and other anti-biotic ointments, I have tried alcohol hand sanitizer, and all sorts of things.
