been there! yes shaving does contrl/eliminate boils. i, too was getting boils everywhere in my downthere region. my dermatologist prescribed some topical cream to apply to the area----didn't work. i was washing and drying the area three-four times dail, applying the medicine, etc. no relief.
finally i read an article in Men's Health that suggested trimming the hair, then applying the topical cream so it would come into closer contact with the skin. the same article suggested that if that didn't work----shave the entire infected area. since i had painful boils, i carefully shave the area and started applying the cream. believe it or not, within 2 days my boils were shrinking and eventually i didn't even need the cream.
i kept up this practice for three yr. now and have not had a single boil. to me it was/is a miracle.
i'd give it a try. you have nothing to lose, except, maybe your boils
Wishing you success!.

yes i could but boils are caused by just over production of natural secretions of oil that your skin makes and/or ingrown hair. You are just suppose to pop it before it gets to big. If not you will have to go to the doctor and in the hospital we cut them open and you will be awake and the most pains we give is motrin.
so take care

Probably not, but no pubic hair is much cleaner and looks wonderful

I dont believe so. It might even put you at risks for ingrown hairs. I dont know which one is worse.

probably not. But if you shave that area, your tan lines will look better.

No connection at all. Shower daily and keep the area clean, and you will not have problems.
Chow!!

Taking a bath ounce in a while will.

I don't think it is true at all... and I recommend trimming... no itches
