A member asked:

So i took antibiotics because i had an abscess on my butt crack and my mom forcefully drained it at home by squeezing it. now my vagina itches. i suspect its a yeast infection but there's no discharge and now my boyfriend has similar symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection: Being on antibiotics predisposed you to a yeast infection of the vagina. Yeast infections can be passed back and forth between sexual partners and both of you should be treated. Squeezing a boil or abscess to drain it is very unwise and dangerous.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
