OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) Questions Pus boil

I have a pus-filled boil in a very sensitive and embarrassing area. What should I do?

I have a large pus-filled boil near my vagina. Will this kind of thing spread to other parts of my body? Also, how do I treat this so that the boil goes away?

Probably not
Sitting in a war bathtub or placing a warm compress on the area may help this boil to resolve. If it is very tender, if it is associated with a fever or if there is a large are f surrounding redness then it is advisable to see a health care professional. This "boil" may need to be drained and it may require antibiotics to treat an infection.

This sounds like an infected hair follicle. Depending on the case the treatment may be reassurance, antibiotics or surgical drainage.
