A member asked:

I have a vaginal boil i am 100% sure it is not an std. i shave often and wear tight underwear on a regular basis. how do i get rid of it and can my partner get it. once again i am for sure it is not an std?

If it is small keep area clean and use local heat 3-4 times a day and if it does not burst or heal see your MD. Hold shaving till it heals and wear a loose underwear. When you shave - after healing Use a clean razor and wash area with soap and water right after it and avoid nicks and cuts.
