I've got this boil or phoda at the start of my hip line that just won't heal. Every day, pus and a little bit of blood come out of it. I've tried using different antiseptic creams and even took amoxicillin tablets, but nothing seems to be working. I also have diabetes, but it's under control. What could be causing this issue, and how can I get it to heal?
