Suggest Remedies For Recurring Boils On The Pubic Area
I have recurring boils or lumps on the mons pubis. They last for weeks to months. They vary in size and are painful. Only bright red blood comes out. It takes a long time for them to drain. I used to get these on the insides of my upper inner thighs. Now they seem to only appear on the pubis area. Help! I don t know what to do about them. I thought it was infected hair follicles and from sweating. I m also very over weight. What are they and what can I do about them.

Hello,
Yes, maybe an infection from hair follicles because it is recurrent. Better clean shave and remove hair from that area.
Take tab. Cipro bid, tab.Combiflam 1 bid, T Bact ointment for external use for 5 days and review.

Take care
