I am a 18 year old female. I have boils on my pubic area. They are increasing in size although there is no pain or itching or anything. What is it and what should I do?

Ingrown hairs or infected hair follicles often lead to the development of boils. Shaving your pubic area can lead to ingrown hairs, which can in turn lead to the development of boils. If you want to shave your pubic area, do it in the shower or bath when the hair is wet, use a very sharp razor and shave in the direction of the hair growth to help prevent ingrown hairs.
