I just discovered 3 days ago a very large abscess on my inner thigh where my thighs rub together when I walk. Every woman should know what I mean. I think I cut myself shaving there about 2-3 weeks ago and now I have this HUGE thing that looks like a pimple but I believe it is an abscess. The base of it is almost the diameter of a 50 cent piece. The head of it is about the diameter of a dime. What should I do about this? Are there any home cures to get it to go away or get it to pop. It's really gross...any ideas please let me know.

GO TO THE DOCTOR~!!!!!!!!!
Get it lanced...you don't want an infection...
Not to be rude, but if your legs rub together that badly you need to get some exercise and lose a bit of weight.....
good luck

Cover Lightly With Gauze,

Approaching Burning Feeling; If To Intense, Remove Immediately. "
Apply For Fifteen Minutes.
Your Abscess Will Come To A Head,
And all Of The Infective Material Will Come Out.
Lightly Apply Some Neosporin. "

First of all I would not squeeze or try to pop it with any needles. Try taking a warm bath, dry the area and apply some aloe vera (and I always do some cocoa butter to calm the skin and it also helps scaring). You may want to treat it like a wound since you may rub your thighs together when you walk around - so put a small gauss on it, with maybe some neosporn on it during the day. If it gets bigger or more painful see your doctor. Camamille baths work too, or epson salts in the bath water.

go to the doctor NOW
it could be an staph infection, those things have been spreading like crazy lately and an abcess or boil is the first symptom.
At least if you go, and you DON'T have a staph infection, the doctor will be able to take care of it without making it worse!
