A member asked:
A boil in groin has drained out and it seems to have healed but it at times it itches a-lot. what could be causing that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A boil often itches just before it becomes painful & tender. I assume that your infection has resolved, but some residual skin sensitivity in the form of itching remains. If there's absolutely no signs of inflammation present, you could apply a very thin amount of mild cortisone ointment to relieve itching.
