What Are Recurring, Painful, Red Boils Under The Skin In Pubic Area Suggestive Of?

I no longer have a cycle and haven t for years. But it seems when it was supposed to be that time, I develop a reddish boil under the skin in the pubic area. I feel it under the skin long before the size develops. I do shave, however it then forms a boil-like object in this area, and begins to hurt very much. Swells up and I apply neosporin and peroxide but it takes awhile for a head to form. Quite painful before it burst. Why is it happening and what can I do to prevent future occurrence

hi healthcare magic user, if I would have been your doctor I would have advised you to get fasting and post lunch sugar to rule out diabetes.
recurrent boils could be due to diabetes.
also please check for blood test to rule out herpes infection.
depending upon diagnosis your further treatment.
in the meantime please apply neosporin, soframycin for Relief of local pain.
