Question
My husband has this heat boil on his inner thigh, right near the groin. It's pretty painful, and we're wondering if there's any ointment we can use to help reduce the boil and ease the pain. Any advice would be appreciated!

For treating a heat boil near the groin area, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer of the ointment to the affected area 2-3 times a day. Additionally, you can also use a warm compress to help reduce pain and promote drainage of the boil. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection.
