Booting/boils

I've never had one in my life and now I keep getting them since about a week out of surgery. I started to take the biotin 2xs a day after surgery. It's so painful. I hated to ask because I was embarrassed but its just getting worse. I have an appt tomorrow with my primary thought I would throw it out there. You guys usually have the answers. I googled it but not much info.

I'm so Sorry this stupid phone. I meant to say biotin not booting.

I don't know that it is related to the biotin, but is related to weight loss. Your body is releasing a lot of stored up toxins during rapid weight loss.

Warm salt water or use bath salts depending on where it is

When I went for my follow up my Dr said they would go away and to follow up with my primary if the got worse. I'm going to my primary tomorrow. It's so bad I'm having a hard time walking. My legs have never been big but the are on my inner thigh area. When I've lost weight in the past I never had this. I can't work out it hurts to walk it even hurts to sit.

I'm glad you are going to see your pcp. Sounds like they may be infected. Good luck!! Hope you feel better soon!!

Boils are horrible, they are normally from a weakened immune system. They take about 3 weeks to heal. I have had two in the past and they are terrible. Do not try to open them, they will do that on their own. There us a medicine called boil- ease, I have not tried it though.

mines is near the female area. i was like wth is this. its small but it hurts when i clean myself. i thought it was just me. it right at the tip of the female area i know tmi.

Are you sure that's a boil? It sounds like a Bartholin's cyst to me. Sitting in warm epsom salt baths will help it come to a head but your doctor will need to lance and drain it. Possibly even put in a drain called a bartholin catheter. Once its drained your relief will be huge.

I'm not sure. I'll find out tomorrow I guess. Once one goes away another one comes. This one feels like

7 marbles in a row.

New grandmother how are you dealing with it. I've been putting warm.clothes and caster oil on them for the swelling until it pops. Then another one comes in like a day in a different spot.

well its going down it was small but painful. now i have alot of white zits on my face lol

Whoops. Yes newgrandmother that was for you. A Bartholyn's cyst is located on the outside of the vajayjay. The bartholyn gland is responsible for producing lubrication. Sometimes it gets inflamed/plugged and develops infection. Can be very painful.
