Suggest cream on boil
I have a one single boil on inner thigh from past 1 and half day.
I've covered it with clean cotton.
Also the area around it has swollen a bit.
It appeared suddenly after a prolonged menses. I guess usage of sanitary pads for a week caused the inner thigh skin to become tender and cause this infection.
Pls suggest a cream, it's causing discomfort while walking.
Thank you.

You can apply framycetin based cream and if it's severe you might require oral antibiotics too.

It may be hair root infection also known as folliculitis. However it's better to go for consultation for better diagnosis and management.
