Help with boils on genital area!

[jessicaanicolee7]

I'm 17, and I've recently had some trouble with boils on my shaved area on my outter labia. A couple weeks ago I had a boil that was pretty painful to the touch. I applied a hot compress and it got really small. But now it got big again and is a bit painful.I never drained it out because I didn't know how to, but this time I do want to because it looks like there's a lot of cloggage. I noticed that there is a small forming as well and would like to know how to take care of these. Any tips on how I can go about this? Should I take any precautions so I won't infect it?? Is this normal? I don't know if this is because I shave a lot or if I have a bad diet, that's what I heard might be the causes

I had that problem years ago and the pain was  unbearable I did go to the doctor and they actually had to cut a slit on it to drain it. The best thing to do is keep hot compresses on it and then drain until all is out. Take hot baths and drain as much as possible. This might be because you shave so just be careful not to make small cuts because they might be getting infected  causing the boils to form. I read a lot about this a while back because I would get them a lot. I read once that this could also have to do with your immune system.i guess it makes since if your immune system is weak it cannot fight the bacteria that goes in the cut. I did have a very bad diet at that time (I was just 18 and lived on my own so all I ate was junk food)

I have this issue from time to time not so frequent once a year at most! I just try not to mess with it! Take a hot bath etc! Once or twice I've had to pop it b/c it was painful! Other than that if they are super frequent I would see a dermatologist and see if they could help!
