I currently have a lump the size of a grape on the inner part of my lady parts plus two other spots/ poppable breakouts. I know that the large one will not pop it will just come back again. It had been throbbing now for 4 days . I have suffered all my adult life with these ruptures in this area, I just wondered if anyone else does? I take an anti biotic every day but it seems to have stopped working. I can have between 1-5 at once inside and out . They are absolutely killing !

Members shared deeply personal experiences with painful lumps and boils in intimate areas, with many describing lesions ranging from pea-sized to softball-sized that can last days to months and significantly impact daily life, comfort, and self-esteem. Several members offered practical relief strategies, including hot or cold compresses, drawing salve or Prid to help drainage, boric acid suppositories and probiotics from Love Wellness, topical antibiotics like Aknemycin Plus, steroid injections from dermatologists, and keeping the area clean and dry with products like Hibiclens or baking soda baths. A recurring theme was the importance of working closely with dermatologists and gynecologists to explore options like stronger antibiotics, steroid shots, lancing, or surgical removal, while also recognizing that diet changes (especially reducing sugar) and avoiding tight clothing can help reduce flare-ups.

I started taking 2 products by Love Wellness.
1- Goodgirl probiotics.
2- The Killer -boric acid suppository.
Both have help immensely. Right now until midnight of July 30 there’s a BOGO offer using the code GETSUN. Or you can go to Target or Ulta and pick it up right away. They run about $24 a bottle. But they have literally changed my life, for the better. And lumps or bumps you have in or around your lady parts I strongly suggest looking into it and reading the reviews. Most of my bumps were gone overnight from 1 pill (The Killer). Now with all the medication I’m on I just use it when needed. The probiotic I take 2 everyday, at first when I started it was like WHOA 😳 going to the bathroom for like the first 3 days until my body adjusted. Hope this can bring you some relief!

That is the only location that I get them. My dermatologist give the worse breakouts an injection and they go down immediately. She will not Lance them. I do not recommend asking for them to be landed unless they are extremely large. Try to find a dermatologist that is somewhat knowledgeable, I just happened to pick one that this is one of her specialty.

I have chronic lesions in that area unfortunately and I’ve only found cold compresses to help.

Yep that’s where I get all mine is below the waste and breast but no under arms. Not sure which one is worse but they are annoying and irritating for me. I have high pain tolerance so I can’t imagine how it feels if I was able to feel that pain. It’s kinda depressing really because it messes with my self esteem and sex life. I even had a hysterectomy done hoping it would slow it down and it doesn’t. I wish you luck and hope you find comfort.

I do find that cleaner diets do decrease the flare ups.
