Hello,
◆ It can be a boil as you say. First of all avoid to give oily food to her and don't allow to wet that part or don't itch over there.
◆ Clean twice a day with Calendulla mother tincture pored in cotton.
◆ If it is pustular then give Hepar Sulphur before 40 minutes of meal.
If it is reddish then Belladonna 200 1 dose in morning one dose in evening 40 minutes before meal. Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mitesh
