Dear Doctor, I am 50 years old. I have been getting boils on the thighs. Earlier there are instances of getting them in the arm pits, below the armpits etc. This happens about once in 3 to 6 months. Behind this boil there is a knot formation. Swelling is seen due to the knot. After the boil matures, blood mixed with puss oozes out for a couple of days. Earlier, Doctors had advised application of Bactroban/T-Bact ointment and Moxikind-CV antibiotic. If I take antibiotic, the boil will get dried within a couple of days. Kindly suggest the latest medicines and prevention methods. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards.
