Resolved question:
I'm a bigger guy and consistently get boils between my inner thighs. When I get these I generally pop them with no problem they generally heal and go on. Well today I tried popping one and I felt it gush on the inside of my leg. I'm terribly concerned on the consequences of this. Please help.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Some people due to excessive sweating, makes the area between inner thighs moist, letting the harmful bacteria grow.
The best way to avoid it is to wear loose fittings pants, and trying to avoid friction as far as possible.
You tried to pop one, and it is advised you never try anything like that, because it increases the chances of the infection getting worse, it may turn extremely painful, and also that delays the recovery.
Please apply Mupirocin ointment on the affected spot.
There are no serious consequences, so please do not worry.
Regards.
