Because you have both a suspected fungal infection and a boil (which is usually bacterial), it is highly recommended to see a doctor for a proper examination. Avoid self-medicating, as using the wrong cream, especially one containing steroids, can make the infection worse. A doctor may prescribe an antifungal cream (such as clotrimazole) for the fungus and a topical antibiotic (such as mupirocin) for the boil. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton underwear, and do not attempt to squeeze or pop the boil. Please consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and prescription.
