Hi everyone,
I'm hoping this post will help at least a few of you. I too have had the same problem of pus and blood filled blisters/boils in the genital area since I was about 16 or 17. I am 21 now, but I am still a virgin so I knew it was not an STD. I went to the gynecologist today because I have had a couple large ones recently that have not gone away. She told me that I needed to be shaving using an antibacterial lubricant. She said when you shave you are essentially pushing bacteria down into the hair follicle, which can cause an infection to form, and thus the blisters/boils. She took a culture and is going to test for MRSA. Right now I am starting on clindamycin in case it is MRSA and she said that should help stop the infection and the blisters/boils should disappear.
Final recommendations from my gynecologist:
1) Use an anti-bacterial lubricant (such as Dial soap) to shave. Lather up once, rinse off, lather up again, then shave.
2) Take a bath at least once a week. While this may seem "dirtier" than a shower, she said that baths help clean down there and soak the bacteria off, as opposed to a shower where you can't actually get that clean.
3) Change your razor at least once a month.
4) See your doctor so you can get a perscription. If you are sexually active, you should especially see a physician because it could be an STI. Even if it is not, if you have MRSA, that is also contagious so you could infect your partner.
I hope this helps! I promise this advice came straight from gynecologist. I am a nursing student, and I highly recommend seeing your doctor. Preventative care is the best way to go. My doctor said she once had to hospitalize a women because her's had spread so much.

I have had this problem for ever i am 26. When i asked my doctors about it no one really knew what they were but not an STD. I have scarring from them but i cant help but pop them sometimes they get so big they hurt and i cant walk. I use an antibacterial skin clenser every day under my arms and on my inner thighs it helps but does not get rid of them. I do notcie when i am on antibiotics i dont get them as often but then i get a yeast infection so its horrible either way i go!!! but i am soo glad there is someone else that gets this!! Sometimes when they are bad i but a pain patch on them and that helps and i also put a hot wet wash rag on the area and it takes the pain away!!! I dont have money for surgery so i have to fix my problems the best i can... hope this helps!!!
OMG THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT I HAD HERPES!
Well, I'm still unsure (even though I'm a virgin) but It sounds a lot like what everyone else is describing.
They started when I was 13/14 (I'm now 18)
The first one (from what I can remember) was just one pea sized spot. It was white and filled with pus.
I popped it and it spread to everywhere. My anus, buttocks and pubic region in later years.
Itchy like a rash (not in a specific place)
What could this be ? I still haven't seen anyone about it :(

I think the person who said it was " Staphylococcus aureus infection" is correct. We are going to a dermatologist ASAP and will get back to you all. Also, I never got mine until I has direct contact with my husband (s..) last week. So they do spread..
My husband has them below his belt line. My baby has them anywhere around his bum or front. And now I have had my second bump below my underwear line. So we think we are getting bit by something. My son is only 18 months, so it's not ingrown hair or puberty. Why does this bug like are privates? They are like pimples with blood and white puss. My son's can get very infected and become huge. We have had him on antibiotics 3 times now. We have also been in 3 different homes when we have gotten bit... Does not make sense at all..
