What are the different types of vaginal discharge?

It really depends on the size of the boil and whether it really is a "boil". Your best bet would be to show it to your usual GP or Gynecologist. If it really is a boil, the size and whether you have a fever is most important. If there is a fever, it requires more treatment, sometimes might have to be admitted. Otherwise, small ones can be treated with creams while larger ones might need minor surgery.

For most women, bacterial vaginosis is a common bacterial vaginal infection that usually clears after a week of antibiotic treatment. If the infection is still recurrent after 6 months, this could indicate that your natural vaginal pH is too alkaline and you may want to restore this back to the natural mildly acidic environment which then makes you less susceptible to bacterial vaginal infections. This is because, in the natural mildly acidic environment, bacterial and fungal organisms are unable to grow.
