I have what i thought to be a boil in my pelvic region (feels deep and hard) i have tried lancing to no avail...i am unsure of what it could be?

Please see your doc: Without actually seeing it, you may very well have a small abscess that may need to be properly treated, possibly even drained. I do not recommend trying to lance it yourself, as there may be loculations that need to be explored and you could infect yourself or injure yourself further. Please see your doctor right away so it can get taken care of. (sorry, I can't find a pic of the pelvis and boil)
