Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health query.
Betnovate would have generally no effect on boils, as boils indicate infection, and betnovate is a
steroid, it can even flare up and worsen the problem.
Recurrent boils in the vaginal area could be due to
folliculitis.
This is infection of the hair follicles which are present in the area.
You might be more prone to it, if you shave frequently.
Maintain meticulous perineal hygiene.
Get your blood sugars tested.
Wear cotton underpants and change them frequently to avoid dampness.
Do not use soaps, gels, cleansers, douches on the private parts.
Clean gently with lukewarm water and XXXXXXX dry with a soft towel.
Avoid unprotected sex, till the boils heal.
IF sexually active, please have STD screening for yourself and your partner.
Get your partner's blood sugars also tested.
You might be having allergy to latex present in condoms, tissue paper, sanitary napkins, tampons, soaps etc.
Change sanitary napkins frequently during periods, and use a local dusting powder like
Neosporin to keep the area dry.
Apply
Betadine or
Metrogyl antibiotic cream on the boils.
Do not itch , handle or scratch them.
If they do not respond , or recur frequently, then you might need systemic ( oral ) antibiotics to clear the persistent infection.
Please see a gynecologist for the local examination and a vaginal swab which will identify the offending organism.
DO NOT self medicate.
Popping the boils, and spilling pus on the adjacent normal skin will lead to spread of infection.
All the best.
