multiple boils on vagina area, Whats going on WITH ME? I was normal I am ONLY 17!!!?

Question

I volunteered for my nursing class and have been doing rotations in the hospital near my residence for 2 years. In the first year, i started getting boils on my vaginal area, and pubic area, shortly after accidentally walking in a isolation room to help a patient there. I have went to my family doctor about this situation and she only gave me antibiotics, (welfare clinic) which did not help the situation anymore or anyless. I know that i should go to a gyne. but you must understand how humiliating this must be for me, and to even engage in a relationship. After they do leave, they leave ugly scars or dark areas. Any one out there like me or similar? Please share Im hopless and scared....

Oh, and no, I am a virgin, never been sexually active, so it rules out the horrible stuff...

Answer 1

aah, going to a gynecologist is not so bad! pick a woman and you'll not even be embarassed hardly. put it this way - which is more embarassing, having someone examine your privates for five minutes, or walking around 24/7 with sores everywhere?

Answer 2

If you have been to a clinic and they gave you antibiotics for this it is most likely not genital warts.
Do these boils occur on the outside area ? If they have been diagnosed as a boil ,or a cyst I would advise a follow up visit at the clinic.People with diabetes more commonly have problems with multiple boils.
I had multiple boils on my thighs before I was diagnosed with diabetes.
The main thing is do not be embarrassed. Take care of this. I have been an Emergency nurse for a very long time and we just want you to get well. No matter what you may have ie genital warts , herpes etc it casts no blame on you. Unless you are celibate or a virgin married to a virgin , well anyone can catch an STD.

Answer 4

Hmm...have you ever been sexually active or were you abused as a child?

It does need a doctor and you might try planned parenthood. Try to go when you have an outbreak so they can really see what is going on.

It could be something as simple as an allergy (which you may be able to prevent by switching soaps and/or detergents), or could be something worse.

Yeah..I understand your embarrasment. Get used to it. As a woman you have many, many exams ahead. Just wait until you are pregnant!

In any case, getting to the root of the problem and having it fixed is well worth it. Then you can be spared both the pain AND embarrassment in the future.

Answer 5

Have a swab test of the area done to correctly diagnose it as a boil .If the boil has to be lanced insit on a test to find the particular infection source is.
A lot of boils start out as an ingrown hair especially in the groin area's.

Answer 6

Genital warts are also called condylomata acuminata or venereal
warts. They are the most easily recognized sign of genital human
papilloma virus infection. In women, genital warts occur on the
outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening to the womb, or
around the anus. In men, they are seen on the tip of the penis,
on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, and just like in
women, around the anus. Genital warts often occur in clusters
and can be very tiny or can spread into large masses in the
genital or anal area. They do no appear until two to four weeks
after infection and sometimes months pass before they become
visible. They do not usually hurt, but they can be very itchy.
Genital warts are like raised, flesh-colored lesions or can be
cauliflower-like appearing growths around the anus or genitals.
Some early signs that one can be suffering from genital warts is
the itching of the penis, scrotum, anal area, or in vulva,
increased vaginal discharge, and abnormal vaginal bleeding after
sexual intercourse, which is not usually associated with
menstrual period.

People with many sexual partners are more at risk to have
genital warts. And also those people who do not practice safe
sex. Genital warts are very contagious and can easily spread
during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. But
these do not develop right after contact, Development of genital
warts usually occurs within three months of contact. In order to
avoid being infected, use condom during sexual intercourse
because this can partially protect you against genital warts.
Keep in mind always that total abstinence is the only foolproof
way of avoiding genital warts and other STDs. Also stick to one
sexual partner who is disease-free. But if you suspect that you
are already infected, you should contact your doctor immediately
for early diagnosis.


Genital warts can be diagnosed by a doctor or other health care
worker by seeing them on a patient though a clinical
examination. But there are some genital warts that are so flat
and almost become invisible to the naked eye. These “invisible”
genital warts can be detected though by a doctor. This is done
by swabbing the skin with acetic acid, and the genital warts
will then show as white patches on the skin. For women, in order
to detect genital warts in the cervix, they should take a Pap
smear test. In a Pap smear, a laboratory worker examines cells
scraped from the cervix under a microscope to see if they are
cancerous. If a woman’s Pas smear is abnormal, she is very
likely to have HPV infection.

Early diagnosis of genital warts is very important so that these
can be treated soon and to avoid spreading the infection to
others. It is important that both partners are treated and to
make sure you follow the treatment. Genital warts are easy to
treat when they are small and few by swabbing with the cell
poison, podophyllum. In some cases, this condition can be
referred to a skin specialist to remove the genital warts under
local anesthesia using surgery, freezing, or laser treatment.

Remember that anyone who has previously been infected with
genital warts runs the risk that they will return now and then
for the rest of their life. So you should always be on the look
out and practice safe sex.

Answer 8

With your training, it sounds like you would know to run, not walk to a gynecologist. You also know doctors have seen it all, and embarrassment is not an issue; your life and happiness is. Get to a professional and get help. If the first round of meds don't work, go back--they know what to do and you are definitely not the first one to have whatever you have.

Answer 9

Seek a second opinion fast! If you are sexually active it could be a STD so make sure you get tested. It's better to know what you have now so you can get proper treatment for it.
