Suggest Treatment For Painful Fluid Filled Boil Between Thigh And Pelvis
I ve had a boil/cyst on my bikini area for 4 weeks now which is getting larger and larger. I went to family doctor who gave me antibiotic cream, which I ve been using for 7 days and is not helping. I put a warm compress on it and it s getting larger with the warm compress. It hurts to walk at this point due to the area. Should I try to pop it. It looks angry and it s the size of a half dollar, length, width as well as height (an extremely large hard bubble). Help!

Hi,
It seems that you might be having enlarged inguinal lymph node or having infected sebaceous cyst giving rise this problem.
You might require one course of oral antibiotic to control this infection.
Application of only antibiotic cream will not work.
consult your doctor and get examined.
ok and take care.
