A member asked:
I have a ingrow hair on my private area w/ open sores. been on antibiotics & cream but not going away. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May need longer term: antibiotic therapy, or debridement (surgically opening up) the abscesses/ follicles to drain. If things continue to look infected despite antibiotic therapy, you will need to culture some pus from these things to make sure it is not a resistant bacterium or fungus. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
