On Hormone Replacement Therapy. Painful Boils Appeared In Groin Area. Cause Of Concern?

Thank you for posting a query.
Look, you have described the lesion as a boil. But, boil is the acute inflammation of the hair follicle due to bacterial infection. It is not a disease which can be present for this long duration. So, most probably, it is not a boil.
Your description indicates possibility of a bullous skin disease. Its presentation with the TAHBSO may be a coincidence.
But, for confirmation you have to be examined clinically for the size, shape, position, consistency of the lesions. If required clinically, skin biopsy should be done.
Right now, you have to take an azithromycin group of antibiotic to prevent any secondary infection in the lesions.
So, consult with a dermatologist for a detailed clinical examination and also for further management accordingly.
Hope this information suffices. Let me know if you have any more question.
Regards.
