A member asked:
The likelihood of a small boil between my buttocks cheeks infecting and possibly killing me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely.: Millions of people have these and very very few ever die, but it would be a horrible way to go. Boils in this area can get out of hand and require surgery. They are more of a major nuisance than life threatening.
