Boils Over Body, Done Eczema, Pain, On Antibiotics, Scrub After Bath, Cloths Washed With Detol Treatment?

My son is covered in little boils all over his body.. this has been going on for three months. He has eczema all over his body too that has increased all over the past three months also. He is in alot of pain. I have taken him to the doctors approx 6 times and they dismiss him with anti biotics that don't work. I make sure he never wears anything twice and wash his clothes in dettol. We do not use any soaps on his body and I scrub the bath after every bath to stop infection spreading. I don't know what else to do. He has started to just want to lay around and not interested in playing... he is only two years old and not normal behaviour for him. I am concerned it may be symtoms of something more sinister and hate seeing him in pain. Pleaee help.
