Skin abscess: A boil or carbuncle is a skin abscess. Treatment typically includes either opening it to allow drainage of pus, an antibiotic, or both. If this has been diagnosed by a doctor or clinic, that's who to ask about the best treatment for you. If not, see a doctor now. Many boils of the genitals are advanced folliculitis, i.e. infection around hairs, often the result of genital shaving.
