Yes: Go to your doctor and get the boil looked at. It may need to be numbed and cut open or soaked with compresses and given antibiotics. You want to enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible so get it fixed.

Absolutely!: Serious skin infections can occur in the intertriginous peri-genital areas during pregnancy and should be managed promptly and aggressively by a general surgeon and an obstetrician. Especially if you are overweight or diabetic, this infection may turn into cellulitis with serious consequences fast - go to the er as soon as possible!
