What are the treatments for boils on the vulva (vaginal area)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incision and drainag: The abcess/boil needs to be drained under clean/sterile conditions. If the same abcess has been drained before, consideration should be made for permanent excision, which should be done when the lesion is not acutely infected.
