There is a rather serious autoimmune disease called Behcet's Syndrome. This disease's initial symptoms closely resemble the herpes virus, causing vaginal sores, fissures, cuts, boils, or folliculitis (ingrown hairs). Other symptoms develop years later, so it is very important that you find out just what it is that is causing your symptoms. Don't be too quick to brush it off as nothing, Behcet's disease affects people of every age and every race. Also, be careful choosing a doctor, you want to see someone who know's enough to tell you what Behcet's Syndrome is all about, if they don't know that, they don't know enough to help you. It is not contagious, it just happens to people because of something in their enviroment. Visit the American Behcet's Disease Association website message board for more information.

BOILS are NO JOKE!!! Get to the doctor ASAP, and request he put you on AUGMENTIN, and do it like NOW!!! Boils are abscesses that are harboring STAPHALOCOCCUS AERU or whatever that nasty sh** is called. But it IS some NASTY sh**!!! You keep spreading it back and forth, and it will NEVER go away if you don't get on some SERIOUS antibiotics like NOW girl---and that sh** scars bad too!!! Hurry up , go see the doc and get that sh** taken care of!!! Good Luck! =0
