Since puberty I’ve gotten bikini line boils. When I shave, when I don’t shave, when I use the trimmer - Doesn’t matter. Now as a 24 y/o I have so much numbing from nerve damage and craters that resemble a war zone.

I only get them on my bikini line, this is my most recent flare up that looks moderately tame compared to other instances.

I saw a dermatologist once, bared all, and he said “I don’t know. Stop shaving?” Like he was a hippie man who prefers a full bush or something. Not helpful.
