Hi.
As per your case history of recurrent boils my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid using razor or hair removal cream for hair removal in axilla.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. You can take tab. Levofloxacin 250mg twice daily and tab. Ibuprofen twice daily for 5 days for faster results.
Thanks.
