Hi,
Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you suggest that you have fungal infection. You can better send me a photo of the boil on reports in order to better evaluate it. I suggest using an Anti fungal medicine fluconazole 150mg once a week. I also suggest to Steroids cream apply locally. Maintain Good hygiene and use cotton underwear.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
