A member asked:

I had a perianal abscess drained 2 weeks ago and doctor says it looks good, even though its still sore. today, i noticed a boil/ abscess on the outside of my vagina near bikini line but not exactly. not near anus. is this related or a separate issue?

Recurrent infection : A "boil" in the "Bikini line" area is probably not related to the perianal abscess. The area is prone to infection and may simply be a coincidence. See your gyn physician to make sure there is not another reason (hygiene, type two diabetes, etc.).
