vaginal Boil
I am 27 yrs old and married for past 3 yrs. I have a small boil on the upperside of the vaginal lips. It also discharges pus and pains only when it is pressed.I have shown it to doctors and taken antibiotics for any kind of infection.But it still exists and there is not even a slight change in it. Please suggest what kind of a problem it is?
Well, boils in general are caused mostly by Staphylococcus aureus. They are easily spread and it is easy to reinfect yourself. A lot of them are resistant, such as the MRSA strains. Have they don't a culture on the boil that way they can test to see if it responds to the antibiotics. Does it come and go when you take the antibiotics or stay there all the time? Sometimes they will drain them as well.
