Recurring Tender Boils In Inner Thigh Which Opens And Drains When Due For Periods. History Of Removal Of Ovaries, Two Bouts Of Breast Cancer. Suggest

when i am 'due' to menstruate', which i shouldn't because i have had ovaries removed, i get a boil on my inner thigh that is very tender, and eventually opens and drains. This hasn't happened in awhile, since ovaries removed, and also 2 bouts of breast cancer, which led to the removal of breast. Woke up this morning with a boil on inner thigh that is ready to explode and very uncomfortable. Why am i getting these?

Hi, it may be influenced by the harmones, but the basic etiology of the boil is recurent infection, due to not being treated completely. I advise you to get the culture and sensitivity of the discharge of the boil done and get treatment accordingly.
So i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treat ment. Thank you.
