Can Fluxloxacillin Be Used For Recurring Boils All Over The Body?

Hi there. I seem to suffering from reoccurring boils that are popping in all over my body in random spots but especially under my arms, breasts and on my buttocks and vagina. I wanted to treat it with some antibiotics that I have left over in my draw and I m wondering if staphyles ( flucloxacillin) 250mg would be ok ?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. As you getting this lesions on the folds of body, this can be due to fungal infection. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying it. If fungal infection and you were my patient i would treat the condition with antifungal lotion of ketoconazole or terbinafine and oral fluconazole tab weekly for 1 month. Better to show a dermatologist and rule out.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
