Hi,

Response to amoxicillin indicates these are boils- bacterial infection of skin. Recurrence is because of carrier state- these bacteria sometimes colonises around axillae, groin, umbilicus and nostrils (warm and moist areas). In such recurrent cases, for my patients I advise them to apply antibiotic creams like mupirocin in these areas, twice daily for 7-10 days to get rid off the bacteria. This when done along with the oral antibiotics course gives consistent result. Meanwhile, keep the said areas always clean and dry. Taking a bath twice daily is also advises. Avoid using talcum powder.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
