What Causes A Boil In The Pubic Area?
My daughter is 5 and has a boil on her pubic area. It has been there for about 5 days. It is white in the center and red around it. It hurts her. I just noticed a blackish/green dot on the top of it. We have recently moved so she doesn't have a doctor yet. Should I have her seen by someone or wait a few more days?
