What Can I Do To Treat A Small Red Boil Close To The Genitals?

Hi, quick question. I’ve looked up all types of stuff of what it could be. And now I’m scared. I’ve had only 1 sexual partner in a year. And just recently, say, 4 days max, I have this red dime sized spot it’s like it’s missing skin but there’s still hair there (pubic close to thigh) and it hurts, there’s also other small spots 3 similar to that one that feel sore. I’ve recently used new products and lotions, it could be that because I have sensitive skin. But I’m paranoid. I do not have insurance right now and I cannot afford the doctor. I just need reassurance or a possibility.

Hi,

It may be just furuncle. It may be due to infection of hair follicles. So, apply antibiotic cream like soframycin on the lesions. Avoid the squeezing the lesions. Take bath in dettol mixed water. You may sketch Sitz bath in a tub filled with dettol mixed water. Take nutritious food to improve body resistance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
