I'm dealing with a really stubborn boil in a sensitive area, and it's just not going away. I used T bact or bactafuz cream like I heard it's supposed to help, and I did a round of antibiotics for three days, but there's no improvement yet. Do you think I need more antibiotics, or should I try something different? I'm starting to worry a bit that it's not getting better.

T Bact or Bactafuz cream can be effective in treating boils in sensitive areas. In addition to the cream, you can also consider taking an oral antibiotic like Augmentin 625mg twice daily for 5-7 days to help with the healing process. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing that may irritate the boil. If the boil does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
