Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Boils are due to staphylococcus bacteria that lives in normal human body without causing any harm.
They invade skin whenever immunity decreases in certain conditions.
Right now you can take full course of antibiotics that will clear bacteria along with analgesics and serratopeptidase tablets.
Also get your routine hemogram and random blood sugar level checked.

Take Care
