so heres my issue:
I had a friend almost two years ago go into surgery because she had an abcess on her. ever since ive been getting them. to be honest i dont want to tell my parents anymore because it always seems to be my fault im sorry im a girl and u just cant tell me im not allowed to shave anymore. any ways i have a boil on the left side of my right calf. Now ik a boil has pus then theres the core, and if you get that then ur all done it just has to heal over.Today my entire leg swelled up a little bit which has happened with another boil. well accidently my boil opened and got stuck to my jeans and i was kinda upset when i pulled them off and well i almost ripped the core out, but now its stuck, its like it bonded with my skin which is weird and it hurts too much to pull off, um? advice please
 
Shaving has nothing to do with getting boils. I got several as a child - long before time to start shaving. My sister also had one on her back that took a year or more to finally go away. You need to have it lanced and drained in a sterile setting. Have your parents take you to the doctor.
 
Please get to a doctor ASAP. If you have had more than one of these and you think you might have gotten them from your friend, you both might have MRSA. MRSA is a form of staph infection that is highly resisant to antibiotics and you can catch it from another person. It can make you VERY sick if it gets into your blood stream. You can read more about MRSA on the Infectious Diseases board.

This needs to be seen and acted on and the bacteria causing it cultured. If you have picked up MRSA, you could be passing it to others.

Don't let you folks intimidate you. It's your health and this needs to be seen. I'm a mom...just show it to them and ask for help in getting it treated.
