View allI've been dealing with these boils in my pubic area for a few days now, and they're making it tough for me to walk. I've tried using a hot compress and antifungal powder, which helps a bit, but only temporarily. I'm not sure what more I can do. Just in case it matters, I haven't eaten sweets in over two months. Any advice on this would be really appreciated. What could be causing these, and how can I treat them effectively?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a bacterial infection causing the boils. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the boils after cleansing the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can take oral antibiotics like Augmentin or Bactrim to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to reduce friction. If the boils persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.P.s I haven't had sweets since more than 2 months..."
