What Causes Recurring Painful Boils On Inner Thigh, Buttocks And Testicles?

Hello Doctor. I have been having issues with painful boils appearing repeatedly in the inner thigh, buttocks and now it seem to have appeared on my testicles. Though this seems to appearing one at a time, this has been a painful ordeal. I used to let the boils take its course and heal itself whilst using anti-bacterial agents (Dettol, turmeric etc.) to help restrict the infection. However, my actions have to turn to be futile and now it has lead to situation of deep concern. Could you please guide to halting this recurrence of having to deal with this constantly. Should I be worried? Might this be a symptom of something more serious? Thanks for all your help!

Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, recurrent boils is not a good symptom at all. It means your immunity is compromised. Try to get your blood tests done for complete blood counts (to look for infection), blood sugar levels (to watch for diabetes) and start good antibiotic. Above all, keep the area clean and hygienic.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
