Do you have any other symptomes ( muscle pain, lymph nodes) ?
SOmetimes herpes looks like ingrown hair, boils, bumps!!!!
Thank you.
Thanx so much for your help but it is gone now. It turned out to be one of those stupid ingrown hairs. I really hate those lol
Hello,
Chances are there that it is a boil. Cleaning with some anti-septic solution and anti-biotic course under general physician’s guidance will lessen the symptoms. Till then, topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.
If the symptoms persist then you may need incision and drainage and get STD’s like herpes ruled out.
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 doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
