tmi but does anyone get boils?

I have two spots that are really hurting.  They are big red areas in my groin. I read where it can be caused from sweating which I have done a lot of since it's been over 100 every day this week. Plus I have put on so much weight my thighs rub together. Anyone no how to get rid of them

Thanks everyone. When I get off work I'm going to Walmart and hopefully I can get rid of them today. Worst part is I can't see them to no if they are able to pop.

The drawing salve generic name is called ichthamal I dont know if thats how you spell it but its pronounced ick-tha-mall that and hot compresses help for me

I have had them all my life almost without being pregnant use heat compresses and crack and egg and put it on your boil or go to Walmart or the pharmacy and get a drawing salve called pride its about 2 or 3 dollars it will burst within a day or so

I had that issue when I was pregnant with my daughter. Don't let it get too big. Talk to your doctor next time about them or call them to see if you can be seen. I had to have one lanced when I was pregnant and it wasn't fun.
