Avatar f tn I have boils on my stomach.I had a previous outbreak a couple of months ago.I popped those and they spread even worse over my upper right side of my body.I went to the doctor and was told that it was a staph infection.I was given antibiotics and told to keep area clean.They did clear up entirely after about a week.I had them for two weeks previously before I had gone to doctor.I now have boils popping up again,but around my bellybutton area.What could be causing these?
Avatar n tn I have a history of boils in the pubic area which I was told was from shaving. However, I have had bumps that have developed and not come to a head like the boils always have. I started out with only a couple little ones last week and now I have 8 of them (some bigger than others). Should I be concerned?
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 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 f tn I googled this and the signs that matched the most was a boil. However, boils are supposed to be red and soft. My bumps are purplish (maybe because of my dark brown skin tone) and the bumps are not at all soft. They are harder than the rest of my skin. Is it a boil and should I treat it like one?
Avatar n tn Hello, They seem like boils or furuncle. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle. Please keep the area clean and apply warm compresses and some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics.
Avatar f tn So for years now I've been getting blackheads and boils in a rather embarassing part of my body, my bottom. They are where the skin of the cheeks rub together. They pretty much never drain and they always turn up. It's very embarassing and I was wondering if other people had it/ if it is normal and if there is any way to get rid of them. I keep that area very clean but they turn up regardless.

Avatar f tn Hi, i have been suffering from boils/pimples inside my vagina. I definately do not have any stds as i had a full MOT. And i am very careful with personal hygene. they seem to be linked to my hormones. Normally use magnesium sulfate cream to drw them out. This time however i noticed a small painless one. I gave a little squeeze and it dissapeared without and muck. It seemed to have just gone back inside somewhere.
Avatar m tn Hello, Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough, but it sounds like folliculitis or boils. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. . Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics.
Avatar n tn Hello, From the symptoms,it can be folliculitis or boils. Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles.It starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing or blockage of the follicle. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph). Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus.
