Freaking out, possible two groin boils before traveling

I feel like baths are making it worse

Hi there - I do not think the baths will have an effect either way unless the water is very hot ,which I would not recommend. Getting this stressed out will not help you though . I would say that they may get bigger or they may not. As a short term help a course of antibiotics may help and have helped me . They will supress the boils but obviously have their own side effects. good luck

When mine come back and they are small I cushion them with a non stick triple layer gauze pad with Neosporin. It almost always stunts its growth and sometimes just dries up.  It's a quick fix for me but it will come back  later.  Good luck!

What a nightmare!! I know how you feel as have been in the same situation. The only thing I would suggest, going from my own experience, is wear loose or baggy clothes without underwear so as not to cause any friction in the area for the next couple of days or at least when you're indoors. If it does come up the only thing you can do really is maybe wear cotton/natural trousers (loose ones of course) while you're travelling without anything underneath as panties always seem to make them worse in my opinion especially around the knicker-line. Another good friend of mine is Mepore Dressings (I use them with antiseptic cream that contains a numbing agent but only when the skin is not broken yet) but then I can only say what works for me. Problem with this disease is it's trial and error and finding out what works best for you. I've suffered with this horrible disease for about 40 years now but it has calmed down somewhat in my later years. I sincerely hope you find some relief and can keep them at bay and that this doesn't spoil your holiday. Good luck!!! Kind regards.

Ask the doctor for some lidocaine cream. It helps with the pain. I used it when I got cysts and it numbs it for a while.
