Suggest Treatment To Help Heal The Boil In My Groin Area

I had what I thought was a boil in my groin area. Now it will not heal. I have used Germoline for some time and thought it was helping but it now seems worse than ever. My underwear rubs it all the time and will not heal. What van I do to make it heal

Hello,

Apply a medicated ointment (topical antibiotic) and a bandage. Continue to wash the infected area two to three times a day and to use warm compresses until the wound heals. Do not pop the boil with a needle. This could make the infection worse.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
