Avoid activities that cause friction between the inner thighs. Take over-the-counter anti-inflammatories. Wash the hands with soap and water or use sanitizer after touching a boil. Wipe the surrounding skin daily for 1 week with a mixture of 70 percent isopropyl alcohol and 30 percent water.
Why do I get so many boils between my legs?
Often bacteria get trapped in a hair follicle or oil gland due to friction or trauma to the skin. Inner thighs are a common site for boils because your thighs can rub against each other and get sweaty, especially in hot and humid weather. This encourages bacteria to grow within the follicles.How do I stop recurring boils?
However, you can prevent boils if you:
- Avoid close contact with someone who has a staph infection, boil or carbuncle.
- Wash your hands frequently with antibacterial soaps and gels, which can help prevent the spread of bacteria.
- Bathe regularly with soap.
- Don't share or reuse washcloths, towels and sheets.
