    I usually get vaginal boils. They itch when they just come and stop, they don’t pain but pus comes out when squeezed. They normally come towards my periods. What could be the cause?

      They are likely to be pimples. During menses, plenty of moisture gets accumulated in the groin region. This wetness makes grounds for pimple formation.

      You need to keep the area clean and dry. Wash down there twice a day and wear loose cotton underwear only. Read above in detail.
