STD?

[cevego]

I have had issues with what my Gyno has said was follicultitis. A painful bump usually in my pantyline area. Sometimes 2 right next to each other. I was checked for STD's and was negative. Well, this occurs atleast once every month or two.  Just recently, my boyfriend had gotten one in the same area.  He squeezed his to try to pop it.  Now he has a long lump running across groin and thigh. Any suggestions on what this is???

no - don't bathe in bleach!!!!  

just bathing with something isn't going to take care of a bacterial skin infection either. both of you should follow up on this properly so that you aren't passing it back and forth.

Can we take a bleach bath to kill bacteria, like with MRSA?

The gland swelling went down....he won't go to the doctor. No insurance.

sometimes.

let us know how your bf's appointment goes.

So, it's contagious?

folliculitis is a bacterial skin infection of the hair follicles.  you and your bf might even be passing bacteria back and forth.  he needs to be seen monday for a proper exam since his sounds like it's spread.
