I get them under my arms often even when not pregnant. Extremely painful! I would suggest speaking to ur doctor. Boils are basically clogged pours, that can build infection under the skin. My best friend gets them really bad (inner thigh, lower back) and would often need them to be lanced to get rid of the infection, and then they would pack the area with gulls (really painful) and gave her antibotics.. so speak with the doc, there maybe something they can do either temporary or long term. Good luck!

Before I got pregnant I had two.. Make sure to have some one spray you're restroom with bleach/ water thats toilet sink bathtub.. No more baths for me after that only showers.. And be sure what you scrub with over night is able to dry to keep it clean ..

I also suffer with this my baby doctor said to soak in a hot bath add a splash of bleach to the water..just a splash tho not too much and it will not hurt baby because my obgyn told me its safe and kills the extra bacteria ur body is creating and also drys up current boils also you can put a warm wash cloth on the boil that helps to bring the boil to a head so it will drain  I hope this helps I know boils are terrible and painful I get em alot too im 15 weeks pregnant.

I got one on my back during my last pregnancy and had to get a perscription antibiotic to put on it. They hurt SO bad so I definitely hope they go away soon for you.
