Sure there is advise --because boils though small pustular lesions can cause irritability and pain ---they appear mild at first and limited to a skin infection --but one has to look a little deeper to see if there is an allergic process on hand or the immune system is not functioning normally as it should ..the children,have to be seen by a pediatric dermatologist who will prescribe some change in diet ,topical applications and blood tests involing the bodys defence mechanism by the white blood cells .
