open sore on genital pubic hair
I have an open sore on genital area pubic hair that started out as a boil or ingrown hair but has been there for months and still drains sometimes blood what is this?
If someone has herpes/2...can they give someone herpes in their mouth if all they do is oral sex?...I know you can give it to someone, with or without a outbreak....skin to skin contact...but if all they do is oral sex can they get it or not?
Hi,
Boils (or furuncles): is a skin disease caused by the inflammation of hair follicles, resulting in the localized accumulation of pus and dead tissues.
Boils are usually caused by an infection of the hair follicles by Staphylococcus aureus (or staph).
In severe cases, boils may develop to form an abscess.The treatment would be local application of antibiotic creama and in severe cases oral medications of the same.
It can also be a condition called HS.Hidradenitis suppurativa or HS is a skin disease that affects areas bearing apocrine sweat glands and hair follicles.
The disease manifests as clusters of chronic abscesses or boils, which can be as large as baseballs or as small as a pea, that are extremely painful to the touch and may persist for years with occasional to frequent periods of inflammation, culminating in drainage of pus, often leaving open wounds that will not heal. Drainage provides some relief from severe, often debilitating, pressure pain.
You have to get it examined by a surgeon since in your case it has become an open sore. It may require surgical intervention to promote healing.
