I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing pain and redness from a boil in the lower hip area. Boils are typically caused by bacterial infections in hair follicles or skin glands, leading to a painful, red, swollen lump.
Here are some general care tips you can follow:
A cream like Fucidin H Cream, which contains an antibiotic (fusidic acid) and a corticosteroid (hydrocortisone acetate), can help treat bacterial skin infections and reduce inflammation. However, this should only be used under a doctor's guidance, especially since corticosteroids are involved.
Because boils can sometimes worsen or lead to complications, I strongly recommend you see a dermatologist or a general physician promptly for an accurate evaluation and appropriate treatment.
If you notice increasing pain, spreading redness, fever, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention urgently.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
