[quote=Julius;1888208896]Yes! My calves! Go figure. The first one I got there, I didn't realize it was a boil and thought it was a spider bite or something. I've had a few there now and scars for each one.
Oh, wow! My DD, who was only about 8 years old at the time, got something like this, also on her calf and and first I thought it was a spider bite. Dr said it was more likely a boil (lanced it and she got antibiotics). DD is my candidate for PCOS, too (poor kid!), based on eating habits, emotions, etc. (She's the child most like me...) DD is now ten, and I'm watching like a mother hawk for other signs of PCOS. Did anyone start getting these kinds of boils as a child?
I've had boils since I was a teen (when PCOS set in). I used to get them fairly often behind my ears, upper neck, NOT a wet site! They hurt like H, too. My PCOS is under control and boils are much less frequent. So there IS hope.
