Hi, i'm 38 year old female, recently after shaving, I had small boil, which has now turned into big painful boil on my outer vulvar area. (outer vaginal lip). It is now causing pain and swollen, and it's hot boil. I have started to consume clindamycin tablet, please suggest if it would help. Or suggest some treatment to dry out boil?
