Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 26-year-old female. I have a huge boil in the vagina with two tiny lumps in the vulva for the past one month. I have a history of boil in the vagina five years ago. I have symptoms like itching and irritation for the past one week. It reduced in size after using Mupirocin ointment and cleaning it every morning and night. I gave warm compression also. I eat multivitamin tablets and tablet Diane 35. Should I take antibiotics?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Consult a gynecologist for physical examination and pus drainage. Please follow the below steps:
1. Do STD (sexually transmitted disease) screening test.
2. Do culture and sensitivity test for the pus sample.
3. I suggest antibiotics to prevent recurrent infection.
