Bumps/Boils on my private parts

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Boils occur due to poor hygiene. Best way to avoid boils is to clean your private parts regularly & change undergarments atleast daily. Once boils have formed use Mupirocin ointment locally. However if there is an associated fungal infection you will need some combination therapy. Do consult a dermatologist for the same.
