How can I prevent boils after shaving in private area?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I shaved my lower region, and then I had sex. Now I have boils around my private area. It is very painful. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please send me your detailed obstetrics and gynecology history, your medical history, and your drug history. Please say something about the material used, such as hair removal cream or a razor, to remove the hair. Sometimes removal of hair after a long time becomes sensitive to hair removal creams.
Sometimes an old dormant infection can get active. Do a vaginal swab and follow the laboratory results. It can also occur due to irritation or reaction to hair removal creams. These symptoms can reduce gradually after some time. Have a sitz bath to get relief from pain. Take tablet Ponstan 500 mg (Mefenamic acid).
After taking a sitz bath, try to have some time without undergarments at home. Have a soft, comfortable undergarment. Use water to clean and use olive oil as a moisturizer. Take Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily and Metronidazole every eight hours for seven days. Collect the swab and discuss the results with your gynecologist for a specific treatment.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
