Aa
kinda tmi (gross) but need advice since doc office closed
So I'm 29 weeks 4 days pregnant..abd these past two days I discovered I have a boil on my inner thigh..I thought no biggie I'll just do it on my own... well I'd course I can't see my inner thigh because of my tummy.well I felt and what I thought was small boil its actually the size of my hand..I took pictures of it I can see the head but it's a clear thick bubble with puss.black & dots so now I'm freaking out.. scared since this is ever the first time in my life to have something so huge and rock hard on my thigh including when I'm pregnant... do should I pop it on my own or go to er...really scared of it getting to my unborn baby and infecting it more after pooping..need advice.. please sorry tmi
Where I come from we take the baby hibiscus flower smash them and apply around the affected area and cover with gauze. This helps pop the eye. Trust me I had one too the size of my hand.
If you can't find hibiscus try vicks rub.

Do they couldn't do much for me just give me antibiotics..it ended up busting before I went to er..it could've been a boil or spider bite.. soit has gotten lower abd I'm having less pain so hopefully this hires away with progress and medicine
You can risk the infection and risk getting mersa. Be very very careful not to disturb it you can get very sick.
Hope u get better soon! <3

Thank you ladies.. just waiting for my husband to get home from work..I have two other little ones at home so it's heart breaking that I can't do much walking around.. :(
If it is that big I would not pop it myself...I would go get it drained and they will probably put you on antibiotics.. I used to get them too on my thighs last pregnancy but never that big.
don't pop it yourself. go to the e.r. if u pop it yourself u risk spreading the bacteria and which can cause more boils.
Cause they may also give you some medication for it.
Definitely go to the er and get them to do it.
