I have large sores which come up every once in a while under my arms and between my thighs. They are very big and red and often, pus comes out of them. I do my best to treat them, but they get sore as they are normally in a position of constant friction between two body parts. They usually go away on their own, but they hurt like heck. Does this sound familiar. My mother says they might be boils. What should I do? I've tried looking around, but don't know what to look for.

Are these boils?

Sounds to me like boils. I used to get them on my thighs as well and they left scarring. :angry: You could go and see your doc about it.
-
What would you suggest I do to treat them?
-
Boils If they are recurrent then you should go and see your doctor about them.

Thanks for the link. I really appreciate it. I think I know what's going on now and I am getting it treated. Thanks so much for your help!

i get them in my arm pits alot. sound exactly like what you are saying. when i was in 7th grade, i went to the doctor and my doctor told me that it was from a staph infection, but the anti-biotics she gave me didnt stop them. they dont happen as much anymore, but recently they have come back. mostly, i put medicated cream on the bumps, then powder ...so yeah, guess its not that abnormal.
