Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Some times boils may require incision and drainage to drain out the pus. So I request you to report to your doctor who will do a physical examination and do a incision and drainage if required. He will prescribe you antibiotics for the infection and analgesics for pain relief. There is nothing to be embarrassed and I request you to not to self treat this.

Improvement of personal hygiene, regular washing of under garments etc will prevent such boils.

Hope this helps.
Take care.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
