How To Get Rid Of Tender Boil In Groin Area?

have an open wound slit in groin area that at times when I wipe my female area , slight blood will be along the tissue edge. It began bout 1 year ago starting as a very sore tender boil, it finally popped & has never healed .went to gynecology dr. she gave me bactrim & municipal calcium cream which I have been using bout year & still has not healed or closed up. my dr. said I kept it very clean. I don t want it to become septic or mrsa. I also have used Diflucan to help a yeast infection from all the antibiotics. what could this be?

Hi.
As per your case history of tender boil, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
