Huge Boils Near Genital Area, Come During Periods. Medications ?
Hello! I have these HUGE boils ( pimples ) near my genital area. I notice they come more during my period maybe from the pads & hormones. I m only 17 & these scar terriblely. You can see them when I wear a bikini :(. Anyways, these are huge & hurt like HELL! What can I do to avoid these & tret them when they re here. Would birth control help? (keeping hormones in check?) What medicine should be prescribed? (I NEED medicine lol) Thanks AAAA
