Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us at HCM.

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
