ive got a boil on my private parts..about half an inch away from the lips but closer to my pubic hairs.

ive squeezed it last week and stuff came out and it reappeared again so ive squeezed it again and same thing. It feels like a hard ball and raw red.

Ingrown hair???

bartholins cyst?

Sounds like an abcess. I had one in exactly the same area.

See your GP as you might need anti-biotics.

Does it hurt?

Mwah · 27/11/2007 12:20

well ive checked for it to be an ingrown hair but theres nothing there. Yes it does hurt and it feels better once ive squeezed it.

One way to relieve the pain is to have a hot bath. I think this may help to drain the infection out as well (but I could be wrong!)

Oh, poor you, I used to get these - often right where my knicker elastic went, owowow - I used to put a wodge of tissue over it so it didn't get rubbed.

I have scars like craters where a couple of the worst ones were

My GP used to call it folliculitis - most common on men's chins, but I think some people just have a tendency to get them amongst the pubes.

You could ask for antibiotics if it lingers but I hope it goes soon!

it's not in pain unless i'm thinking about it. ooh ehh! a bartholins cyst, i've just read about that.

Stop squeezing it - you will make it worse.Please go see your doc for some antibiotics or it will just keep bothering you and be sore.
