Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Recurring Boils On The Jawline And Lower Buttocks?
I get recurring boils(or so I think) on my jawline and on my lower buttocks area. I can t seem to get them to stop showing up. I always have at least one. I currently have a big one on my jawline. It s uncomfortable and painful to move my face side to side. What causes this and are there any treatments I can use at home? (Other than drawing salve and antibiotic ointment)
You have to take care of the skin not shaving it often. Use a gentle soap to wash it and probably even backing soda. Using antibiotic ointment is a good idea and you don't have to fear it. Use it for 5 to 7 days to help the boils go away faster.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
