What Causes Purplish Black Spot Along With Boils In Genitals?
Hi, I have a purplish black dot on my bikini line. Since it is almost summer, I d like to know if there s anything I could do to get rid of it. It has been there for almost a year along with two boils, one which is quite obviously an ingrown hair. All the doctors have done is provided gels or creams to help them heal but none have worked! is there anything more i can do?

Hello,
Purplish black spots with boils in genitals are commonly caused due to wrong way used to shave the bikini liner. You should choose a sharp razor blade which should be replaced after every use. But shaving with a razor blade is not a very good option. Always hydrate and exfoliate the skin before removing hair. The better way is waxing. It should be done by a professional. Do not try doing it yourself.
After waxing keep the skin hydrated with a herbal or water based moisturizer. You are suggested to wax and exfoliate the skin once in 12-14 days for a better bikini liner finish. You can also visit a dermatologist and get laser hair removal done. Laser skin whitening is an advanced and fastest way to whiten your bikini area.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
