How can i get rid of cysts in the pubic area?

Question

I have been having cysts in my pubic area very frequently. sometimes they will grow up to the size of a nickel, then they bust and grow back. I would like to get rid of them. I am not sexually active but could it still be an STD? I already know that I should go to the doctor...just want your opinion first.

Answer 1

It soumds very much like boils. If it is:

Ask your doc to culture the pus. Beg hir if necessary! It's especially important to have the culture done if you've had surgery or been hospitalized before this started, because some germs are resistant to some antibiotics, and can be picked up more easily in hospitals than in the community.

Then ask about an Rx for an antibiotic to which the bug (it's probably some kind of staph infection) is sensitive. You should also ask for Bactroban ointment to put in your nose twice a day for 5 days each month until the tube is empty.

People often have a colony of staph living in the nasal passages. These usually don't cause any problems, but recurrent boils, abscesses--what you described--are one of the problems they certainly DO cause.

I suffered from boils all over the place, and each time I had one treated, they'd lance it, put me on antibiotics, it'd go away, and one or two weeks later another would pop up. This in SPITE of the fact that I kept insisting that I had a history of a resistant bug. ~sigh~ It took several years--because of insurance--to get to someone who would listen to me.

I did the research and knew what treatment I needed, but ~I~ can't write a script, so I had to wait until I was hospitalized with shaking chills 'til I finally got the treatment I needed. You feel somewhat foolish whining about a little infection, but those suckers hurt REALLY bad, and the fact is, they are dangerous.

I haven't had another since the treatment in December.

Be persistent, bug the docs, do some research at REPUTABLE sites, and good luck.

Meanwhile, warm, wet compresses for pain, wash your hands constantly, keep your fingers off the owies (yeah, right, but you should) and call the doc again.

Answer 2

Actually you can pick up many things without being sexually active. If thats what it is you would need a prescription. The other possibility is that its bacterial. You can actually get a bacterial infection from your own sweat. Get an actibacterial body wash and keep it clean. Neosporin, while not bad probably isnt srtong enough. You need like th jock itch stuff or tinactin. Good Luck.

Answer 3

are you sure theyre cysts? If youre not sexually active or have never been then theres a 99% chance its not an std. Do go to the Drs. and they might recommend cryo-surgery.thats just to freeze them off,no pain.good luck!

Answer 4

I doubt if it is STD. Sounds like a severe form of acne. Antibiotics will help or maybe something to help with a hormonal imbalance.

Answer 5

You may need antibiotics, sounds more like boils which are caused from a staff infection. Without antibiotics, they will continually return.

Answer 6

Are you wearing your jeans or underwear too tight? That will cause it sometimes. Take a hot bath instead of a shower. Just sit and soak. It will relieve it.

Answer 7

maybe it's a reaction to some product your using
are you shaving could be ingrown hair.

Answer 8

Could be venerial warts. Take some vinegar and dab it on them. If they turn white, you have them.

Answer 9

just shave them off..nuff said

Answer 10

Maybe ingrown hair........
