In total agreement regarding Cobb saddles being very wedge-shaped, not to mention extremely narrow (130mm) for most women. It was the very reason why I ditched my Cobb after just 2 weeks. I would suggest what others have - measure your sit bones. I'm currently on a Ruby 155, and while it is not always perfect, it seems to be my best option at the moment.

Are these pimple/boil sores, or chafing sores?

I was getting saddle sores after I flipped my stem to get in a more aero position. I thought it was the saddle, so I went through a bazillion of them trying to find the right one. Finally I flipped my stem back over, put the original saddle back on and the sores went away. I don't know your setup, but just something else to consider.
