TMI- BOIL?
Last week, I noticed a small pimple on the crease when my leg and vaginal area meet...
I had just shaved and thought nothing of it, since that sometimes happens...
Well last night I had some discomfort whenever my underwear seam "touched" it, so I checked it out, and am pretty sure its a boil.
I have never EVER had one, so of course Im freaking out that its some terrible infection thats going to harm my baby...
It is not hot, and I do not have a fever...
Did anyone else ever get this....???? Whats the next step???

Re: TMI- BOIL?
Never had this, but honestly, just follow up with your doctor. That's probably going to be the only thing to ease your mind ;).

Re: TMI- BOIL?
I've had them. You can put a warm compress on it and just wait it out. At CVS they have a drawing out solution that makes it pop faster ( sorry to be gross). I had one when I was 36 weeks pg and my doctor didn't worry about it at. They can really hurt but once you pop it the pain goes away immediately!!

I guess...
I mean I google images of a boil, and it looks like it... but anything is possible...
What would I do if its an ingrown hair?

Re: TMI- BOIL?
I had something similar a few weeks ago , I actually thought it looked more like a "skin tag" or something, same area also...Anyhow, it came off  , but it was the weirdest thing....

sometimes shaving aggravates a follicle- just put warm compresses on it- as hot as you can tolerate- and it will help bring it to a head.
once it pops it will go down...
