boil to vulva irritation
by mtgirl1, Oct 23, 2007 08:05PM
hi,
in august i had a boil lanced; it came back 10 days later with staph in it. have taken antibiotics. a couple of weeks ago my vagina and vulva area became red, irritated and a little swollen. saw my gyno he said he thought it could be some "infection" coming out of the hair follicles from the boil, and suggested miocin? a yeast infection was ruled out.
does this sound like a logical diagnosis? i havent seen this gyno very long.
this is really worrying me now, did the staph not clear up or could it be coming from something else?? Please help.

it isn't all that common, but the doc's don't seem to consider it.
