Blisters

[Latina66]

I keep getting blisters and boils from shaving in my private area and now I found one on my hand do they spread?

Hi and thank you for responding to my post. I did have a couple of boils and then the blisters came out but what was odd was that they also came out on my hand that I use to wipe with and my husband also had some and we have not been close to each other in a month so it's a little odd that we were getting these blisters. I had to go to the ER for on boil that was really close to my labia because it was hurting a lot and it would not form a head and I was in pain for almost 2 weeks they when ahead and cut it and pack it and gave me antibiotics. But the blisters are really odd to us, my husband has also had them in the back of his legs and thighs and he do not shave in those areas.
Thank you!

Hello,
These look like boils. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle.

Apply warm compresses on the bumps and keep the area clean. Drainage of the bump is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head. Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

I do not think that blisters spread. You may want to check  doctor.
