Recurrent occurance of boils states that your immunity is low. Kindly get an HIV test, Blood glucose levels checked to test for any immunocompromised state.
Kindly visit a physician for The following Prescription medications as these shall be helpful:
1. Tablet Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day for 5 days (Antibiotic).
2. Tablet (Serratiopeptidase-10 mg. Diclofenac Sodium-50 mg. Paracetamol-325 mg combination) twice daily for 3 days
However, Bacitracin (over the counter antibiotic ointment ) can give you relief when applied on the boil daily thrice.
Kindly maintain hygiene and have a balanced diet.
Regards, Dr.Riyanka
