Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a small boil to the left of my vagina. My boyfriend tried to cleanse the area and poured rubbing alcohol on it and it went inside me. I immediately got up and washed with soap and water but it really hurt my vagina. Is there something else I need to do?
Hi Such boils are usually occur on account of hair follicle infections. It is better to maintain the hygine of the area. Apply an antibiotic cream such as povidone iodine cream. If pain and swelling is more, then an oral antibiotic and pain reliever tablet may be taken.
