Pain and no insurance for inner thigh
by EasyE5308, Sep 29, 2009 11:33AM
I often get the huge pimples on the inner thighs or boils i think there called but this time its different and its like nothing that i have ever experienced before. This knot is under the skin and is the size of a silver dollar, the skin above it is red, blue, and its even turning black, I have no insurance so i cannot go to the doctor, i am having to take atleast 6 advil a day just to try and deal with it. This morning i found that the pain is shooting through my whole leg and i cant walk, I am almost to the point where i want to cut it out myself it hurts that bad, i will have to miss work today due to the fact that i cannot walk. Plz help, oh its not getting bigger or changing size if that matters.

It seems like boil or furuncle. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle.
Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head. Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription. If there are recurrent boils, then please get your blood sugar levels estimated.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
