How To Get Rid Of Painful Boils On Back And Chest Area?
Question: Painful Boils on the back and chest area
Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
I will be glad to be of assistance.
From your description, it sounds like it could be furunculosis, which is a bacterial infection.
I would recommend that you take a short course of oral antibiotics like erythromycin and apply mupirocin cream over it twice a day for a week.
You will need a prescription from your doctor for the same.
This should help in resolving the boils.
Hope my recommendations are helpful to you.
Please let me know if I can address any additional concerns for you.
Regards.
