reaccuring boils
I have been getting painful hard and sometimes pus filled bumps in my lower hair area. Once, the boils ( I guess that's what it is) made a trail up to my belly button and waist line. Painful wasn't the word for it.During this time I think I had yeast or bladder infection as well. I do have type 2 diabetes that I take meds for and I don't eat as good as I should and I am overweight. It was a busy time at work and I kept putting going to my Dr off until they were almost gone. My Dr said my white blood cells were a little high (so was my sugar) and gave me some anibotics.Then after a month or so my husband developed boils as well. Is it possible to pass boils to another person? And are the boils happening because I don't eat and exercise? Well it's been maybe 3 or 4 months and the boils are back. So far only a few. Should I be worried about being contagious? Or maybe thiis is something else? Any thougts? I do go to the Dr next week. She'll probably say I need to lose weight and exercise. Which I should. Duh. Thanks
I'm also a virgin and I get them too. Make sure you drink lots of water during the day as it helps flushing out toxins in your body which helps prevent things like this. Using hot water on a flannel helps it to form a head but
I've found leaving it alone dries it up which means you can get rid of it similarly to a black head. I wouldn't worry that it's an STI just make sure to keep yourself clean. If you're worried about the loo use loo paper to make a toilet seat cover before going.

Im 15 and I have a boil on my area, I have had one other one before I poped it n it had puss in it its been about a year and now I have another one but this one is hard and painful I am avirgin but I fear there could be something wrong what do I do I attend a girls school and the toilet isnt at a good condition im scared I have caught something what do I do? I do lots of exercise and im an average weight for height and weight what do I do?!
The first time of notice of discomfort or a boil is present, use a hot towel, wait 5 minutes, then push all around to push all fluid to a head. This is painful! Afterwards, look to see if there is a hair at the top. If there is PULL IT OUT! Generally, at the end there will be a core and a lot of puss, usually yellow, push all around til no more comes out or it starts to bleed. There will still be hardness and swelling. For the next 3 days, use warm towel, the warmer the better.: Continue to squeeze all around. This will be painful, but it will force it to keep pushing to a head. The swelling will start to go away. This is for the ones that can be a follicle boil. Once the swelling starts to go down, change your panties to a looser size. Mine come periodically after a menstrual cycle, shaving, or having been wearing smaller underwear.I was in size 5 went to a 6 . It's a bit uncomfortable wearing a larger size, but, I have fewer boils and I have more room for airing down there. Hope it helps as painful as they are, this has helped me. Good luck.
I'm having the same problem im 22 and overweight you just sweat so much down there and everything rubs I find that drying yourself really well after showering helps like get in front of a fan if you have to and putting some sort of powders down there and always wear a pantyliner helps keep you from rubbing I hope this helps
they can be passed on, from even using the same toilet seat. I use to stay at my bestfriends house for weeks at a time and her sister had gotten really bad boils and we all used the restroom in HER room and everyone started getting them. And once you get them, they're pretty much IN your system forever :/ I have them everyonce in a while but I get them a lot more when I'm pregnant,which is a nuisance. Just make sure you wash and just LITHA. Leave it the heck alone! People say you HAVE to pop them, but i never pop mine because it just irritates the area more and can cause more to form. They usually go away if you don't mess with them AT ALL.
