A member asked:
Does hair length have a part to play in reoccurring boil in my groin area. should i keep it closely shaved to avoid this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Actually shaving the area could worsen the problem. Suggest that you refrain from very close shaving, esp with blades, soak the area daily in very warm soapy water, and visit dermatologist for eval and possible treatment with antibiotics or surgery.
