Boils On Vagina, Vaginal Bacterial Infection, Turning Into Scars. Is This Normal?
Hi the other day i went to my gp due to what looked like boils on my vagina . my doctor believed that it was a vaginal bacterial infection and gave me flucloxacillin 3 times per day for a week. Some have faded and turned into scars? is that normal? and now their are some turning up on the other side of my vagina. Please help
I am Dr Mbong. It is ok for 'boils' to scar as they heal with treatment.
However if you have some new bumps/boils coming up even on flucloxaillin, then they may be due to some other cause for which flucloxacillin can not treat. A herpes bug (a virus) can cause such an infection and would not respond to flucloxacillin.
Please report to your physician and complain so that he can review your case, do further investigations and prescribe appropriate treatment.
Wish you quick recovery,
Dr Mbong
