Suggest Treatment For Painful, Pimple-like Spot On Labia Majora

Hi, I noticed a small, slightly painful, pimple-like spot on my labia majora yesterday. I had shaved off the pubic hair almost completely (I found out that I m not supposed to shave the hair completely or wax it). I left the boil, thinking it must be because I shaved. I ve had small, painless boils before, but they were always only on the mons pubis. And today it s become larger. I also feel slight discomfort on my genital area, like a burning sensation. What do I do?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should get your self examined by doctors and start the antibiotic Doxycycline under your doctors guidance.

You can also apply polysporin ointment over the wound area.

Maintaining hygiene by frequent cleanliness and dressing is also important, as it also cures you equally as do antibiotics do.

Avoid sexual intercourse during this period as it can worsen the condition and it can be spread to partner also.

Please use cotton undergarments as they prevent reaction with infection.

Please wash the garments under antiseptic solution like dettol.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
