Suggest Remedy For Painful Boils Between Folds Of Skin At Waist Line

I get painful pimples (boils?) between folds of skin at my waistline. In addition to my daily shower routine is there something else I can do to not get these. I wasn t sure if it was a yeast infection or something else. I have no other skin issues.

Hi,

It seems that you may be having pyoderma. It is a bacterial infection caused by staphylococci. Poor hygiene and reduced immunity might cause this type of lesions. You consult dermatologist and have blood tests to rule out DM,HIV,Anaemia and other internal diseases.

You may take antibiotics like cefixime and anti inflammatory drugs like nimesulide in proper doses. Apply antibiotic cream like fucidic acid. Have dettol bath. Improve hygine and immunity. Have treatment of underlying disease,if it is found.

You may be alright.

Thanks.
