kinda tmi

Ok. So ive had a condition calles insulin resistance all my life. And have also suffered from severe boils and cysts. Now that i am pregnant they say i have a risk of giving the infection from boils to my baby. But they wont do anything for me. They tell me hot compresses and thats it. I can barely walk as it is with my much bigger belly. And then to have these boils between my legs it is pure hell. I work 35+hours a week. And am in pain 24/7 for this. I cannot get it across to my doctor that this is more serious than they think. They only tell me it is because of my insulin resistance. Any of u other ladies have any trouble like this? If so i would gladly take your advice

I'm not sure about the insulin resistant part but I have gotten big boils or cyst off and on my whole after puberty life and even had to get some operated on and the doctors can't do anything from what I was told. They just tell me don't shave which I tried and it didn't work so I still shave and they just come and go but with this pregnancy I have had three that refuse to go away all the way and I just take it easy and try to squeeze them if I can tmi sorry
