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 Thanks a bunch. I did what you said and got antibiotics and used mild soaps and used warm compresses and the boils went away. However, littler ones formed around the same area. I'll try what you said again and keep you updated.
Avatar m tn Hey guys, a while ago I had a couple of boils on my face, I went to the doctor and they just put me on antibiotics, saying they weren't completely sure what it was. Then after that the boils kept returned and I did some research on the internet and was pretty with it was a staph infection, then I got tested by the doctors and while they were kinda vague, was apparently a staph infection in my nose. That was almost a year ago, though I've had several minor boils since then.
Avatar n tn Since my late 20's, I have seen a variety of dermatologists for painful boil-like eruptions on my butt, that are 1-3 CM in diameter. I am now 39, and they seem to be getting worse! I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I am currently using a benzoil wash, and in the past have used such topicals as tretinoin (some success), clindomycin, evoclin, desonide, and oral antibiotics; minocyline and now solydyn.
Avatar f tn Boils may be due to poor personal hygiene or minor trauma to the skin allowing bacteria to invade, use of antiperspirant deodorants, use of strong drugs which may hamper the immunity or a diabetic patient. Warm compresses may help, antibiotics are used sometimes, good hygiene, no picking or compressing and zinc supplements may help. You can use topical antibiotics like Bactroban. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist.
Avatar n tn , it can be ready to drain. Antibiotics are often used to eliminate the accompanying bacterial infection. The regular use of antibacterial soaps can help to prevent bacteria from building up on the skin. It would be best to have this evaluated further by your doctor to rule out existing conditions such as diabetes that may be causing reinfection. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn If the organisms is already resistant to broad spectrum drugs, there are some available antibiotics that still may be used. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn They have developed other antibiotics to treat it. However, they are stronger antibiotics and can be harder to take. Staph in general (MRSA or not) causes boils, impetigo, furuncles and mostly other skin and wound problems. Sometimes eye infections and other issues. Sometimes with impetigo you can get a mixture of staph and strep in the wound and you get a crusty sore which is easily spread. It also can produce blisters at first then become crusty. What does your infection look like?

Avatar m tn The whole thing started in March when I used a shaving stick which I had earlier used to shave my pubic hair and as a result of this I had about 7 boils around my genitals with about 4 on my scrotal sac and 2 in my anal region.
1751559 tn?1312468512 Go to a doctor! Boils are infections that need to be drained and you probably need antibiotics. Don't mess with them yourself!
Avatar f tn and a specialist. they were supposed to send cultures off but I never heard anything. Been on tons of antibiotics.
Avatar f tn the puss in boils and pimles can be very contagious and can cause more boils or pimlpes to appear. good luck and hopefully you will not suffer with anymore of these nasty little bugger in the future.
Avatar m tn Treatment is by topical antibiotics and steroids. Local antibiotics of erythromycin and Clindamycin group also help. Retenoid group of drugs also help. Get his diabetes & thyroid status checked as high blood sugar can also cause recurrent boils. Possibility of a connective tissue disorder too should be looked into. Consult a skin specialist. Take care!
Avatar f tn So I have boils on my vagina and i've been to the doctor about it and i'm on antibiotics to help treat them and they have popped but when i go to the bathroom to pass urine, it really stings and is extremely painful and uncomfortable. Is there anything i can put on the boils to help this? Like help protect them so it doesn't hurt as much? I heard putting Vaseline on them could help?
Avatar f tn I have done std test and all is negative.i took some strong antibiotics but the boils and itching keeps increasing after I have stopped masturbating for like 2 weeks.
440535 tn?1312368065 Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription. If there are recurrent boils, then get your blood sugar levels estimated. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar m tn I would have no problems, but about a year ago i think i accidentally used a dirty razor to shave my private area and in the folds between my legs and crotch. I got an infection down inbetween the folds between my crotch and leg. (private area did not) I play sports every week and i can tell the sweat irritates the area somewhat. I try to shower often and have even been putting hot compreses on the area at times, but with only temporary visual/pain results.
