Possible Reasons for Boils on the Vagina

1. Blocked hair follicles or sweat glands (common in the groin area). 2. Bacterial infection 3. Friction or sweating from tight clothing or shaving. 4. Poor hygiene during menstruation. 5. Underlying skin conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa. 6. Use of irritating products like harsh soaps, scented pads, or detergents.

Itching During Periods Could Be Due To:

* Yeast infection Candida– thrives in moist conditions. *Allergy to sanitary pads/tampons (fragrance, chemicals). *Hormonal changes altering vaginal pH. *Poor menstrual hygiene(not changing pads frequently enough).

Treatment 1. For Boils Warm compresses: Apply 2–3 times daily to help the boil drain. *Topical antibiotic cream: Like Mupirocin *Oral antibiotics If boil is large or recurrent – consult a gynecologist *Avoid squeezing: Can worsen infection or leave scars. 2.For Itching

* Antifungal powder * Mild antiseptic wash(like Betadine Feminine Wash diluted): only short term. Oral antihistamines itching is allergy-related. * Keep area dry and clean.
