I know this is naff so thanks for reading. I woke up yesterday with 5 boils between my thigh and crotch. I can’t wear pants!

As GP was shut and I couldn’t face a&e I had a push doctor appointment and he prescribed antibiotics. So far it’s not helping.

What fresh h*ll is this? Has anyone ever had this or have any tips about how to relieve it.

Completely mortified

Have you just shaved?
Are you wearing tight /very fitted underwear?

Applying a hot towel can help relieve the swelling
Stop wearing your usual pants for now, you can’t afford anymore rubbing.
Grab some men’s size boxers for now as anymore rubbing will cause it to swell to a disproportionate size.

Hi thanks for the reply.

No I have not waxed or shaved since last summer (winter bush in full effect!).

No man in my house so no boxers I’m afraid but in my night gown.

I don’t know how I can go to work tomorrow!
Will try your other suggestions, thank you
