Having Red Painful Boils All Over Body Filled With Pus. Quit Antibiotics. Related To This?

I am getting boils all over my body for past one month now. The boil is filled with pus and the area around the boils are red and painful. Initially they are pimple sized but gradually grow bigger and painful. One they burst, they get cured. I have been applying heat and its making them go sooner. What can they be? I was on antibiotics before getting these for my tonsils for quite a long time. Can these be because of that?

hi.. you have pyoderma.. it could be because of poor hygiene, constant friction eg. on the buttocks, or due to poor nutrition... you need to take antibiotics, local ointments, multivitamins with zinc.. wear loose, comfortable cotton clothes... maintain good hygiene, have balanced diet.. regular exercise is needed. all the very best.
