What causes boils in the pubic area?
human
I'm 32 male and 5 ft 6 150 lbs. Healthy except for Cerebral Palsy since birth, and IBS and GERD since age 21. Over the past 6 weeks, I have fought with about 6-10 boils on my pubic area/thigh and lower abdomen. It was said to have stemmed from a bad shaving episode in that region. I have been on clindamycin, dicloxocilin, cefalexin, and trimethoprim intermittently over that time. Everything seems to respond to antibiotics and fade significantly but never fully disappear. Everytime one seems to fade a new one appears nearby. I have been to a GP, and an infectious disease specialist. My labs are said to be fine, and the only things diagnosed have been Folliculitis, Cellulitis, and staph. I can't seem to shake this or gain piece of mind. What do I do now?

This could be recurrent cellulitis.You should have an MRI to see if there is anything under the skin that is causing these to come back.Please rate 5 Stars! I strive to provide the best answers to your questions.
