What Causes Boils In The Pubic Area?

Hi. I just have a few questions. In my vaginal and buttox area I frequently get pimples and boils. I don t know how I get them. I m not sexually active. Some hurt really bad and leave horrible scars that almost feel like a hole covered by skin. Is there any way I can get rid of them? Or at least know how they occur

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to recurrent folliculitis. This occurs due to accumulation of sweat and dirt on that area. Keep the genital area and folds clean from sweat and dirt. Use loose underwear. Avoid underwears while sleeping. Taking vitamin C regularly will be helpful also. You can wash the area with warm water or saline. Using intimate wash for vagina and labia is good for maintaining PH and normal bacterial flora also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
