Why Do I Have A Furuncle Near My Genitals?

Hi… I have a furuncle near my intimate part. It is really close to these parts it started as a pimple so I used an intimate cream but now there’s puss inside and it bigger than it used to be. The puss will some time come out but won’t deflate. What can I do please ?

Hello

You are suffering from a furuncle in your private part, it has grown in size. Do not touch or scratch it. Maintain hygiene. Change your clothes and underwear and change your bedsheets every day. Avoid intake of soft drinks like coca cola, chocolates, coffee, caffeine, fast foods, sweet foods, cakes, desserts, alcohol, etc.as it will flare up your symptoms and also cause spread.

Take buckwheat, lean boiled meat, flax seeds, boiled beans and vegetables, dry fruits, yoghurt, etc. Do not squeeze it, it will lead to premature opening of the boil and the lower part remains deep inside causing inflammation and spread. Do not let it get infected, clean the skin around the affected part with an antiseptic. Get clinically examined, you will be treated with a course of antibiotics, analgesics, etc.

The pus will come out in 3-4 days, the area affected will be cleaned and antiseptic dressing done. In case it the pus does not come out on its own then the GP will incise and drain it. Antiseptic dressing will be done and you will be treated with a course of antibiotics, analgesics and vitamins. Ozone therapy and ultraviolet irradiation will be recommended by the treating doctor if needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
