Ok, I have an urge to change my name for this but can't really be fudged so I'm just going grit my teeth and tell you where my boil is.

It's absolute bloody agony, about the size of a baked bean(!!), very red...actually verging on burgundy and it's...........deep breath..........in my private hairy place!

Thankfully it's just at the top were the hair starts but my word, does it hurt.

We're going on holiday on saturday and I really want to get rid of it. I can't get my bikini line done either, too painful and embarrassing. It's not a pretty sight I can telll you

Doctors is full and TBH I just haven't got time before saturday.

What can I do to it?
Tried hot salty water to draw out but it's still as bad.
It's actually quite painful to walk!

Please help.

my brother had a boil on his face (cheekbone) once when he was a teenager. An amazing amount came out and it left a huge crater in the middle of an angry red area. But it healed up perfectly afterwards.
