Avatar m tn I have read and been told that antibiotic treatment is usually the best treatment for nose boils. What I would like to know, is WHICH antibiotic(s) is recommended, at what strength, and for how long? You should also know, that I am allergic to Penicillin. I live very near a clean and safe Mexican border town and have shopped there many times. Nuevo Progresso, Mexico, is known for its quality pharmacias, and I could quickly and safely go there to purchase antibiotics without a prescription.
Avatar f tn I have boils on my stomach.I had a previous outbreak a couple of months ago.I popped those and they spread even worse over my upper right side of my body.I went to the doctor and was told that it was a staph infection.I was given antibiotics and told to keep area clean.They did clear up entirely after about a week.I had them for two weeks previously before I had gone to doctor.I now have boils popping up again,but around my bellybutton area.What could be causing these?
Avatar n tn I have a history of boils in the pubic area which I was told was from shaving. However, I have had bumps that have developed and not come to a head like the boils always have. I started out with only a couple little ones last week and now I have 8 of them (some bigger than others). Should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn I have been recently diagnosed with hydradenitis. I had a big outbreak of boils in my groin area. Several of them ,at first everyone thought heey were just regular boils that were very infected until the surgeon came in and said what it was. He did surgery to remove some of the sweat glands some of them healed others just got smaller. Then a month after I got one near the anus called a perirectal abcess, I had to have an incision and drainage done.
Avatar n tn I have suffered from recurring boils even was admitted to the hospital for 4 days with a staph infection. Dr. told me to use antibacterial soap and take a round of antibiotics. Neither of these treatments worked. Here is the real cure, Cured my recurring condition in less than 1 week. 1. Go on a juice fast for 3 days. Juice fast consists of fresh made juice made with a juicer, blended raw vegetable soup (receipe below) lots of water and hot green tea with organic tumeric.

Avatar f tn So for years now I've been getting blackheads and boils in a rather embarassing part of my body, my bottom. They are where the skin of the cheeks rub together. They pretty much never drain and they always turn up. It's very embarassing and I was wondering if other people had it/ if it is normal and if there is any way to get rid of them. I keep that area very clean but they turn up regardless.
Avatar f tn Hello, These bumps can be due to folliculitis, boils or cysts. For such painful boils, you should keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics and warm compresses. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist and get cysts ruled out.
Avatar f tn I googled this and the signs that matched the most was a boil. However, boils are supposed to be red and soft. My bumps are purplish (maybe because of my dark brown skin tone) and the bumps are not at all soft. They are harder than the rest of my skin. Is it a boil and should I treat it like one?
Avatar n tn Hello, They seem like boils or furuncle. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle. Please keep the area clean and apply warm compresses and some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics.
Avatar n tn ve been getting pimples on my buttocks and it is really embarrassing for me. I come from mauritius, and in mauritius i never got this kind of problem.

Avatar f tn Hi, i have been suffering from boils/pimples inside my vagina. I definately do not have any stds as i had a full MOT. And i am very careful with personal hygene. they seem to be linked to my hormones. Normally use magnesium sulfate cream to drw them out. This time however i noticed a small painless one. I gave a little squeeze and it dissapeared without and muck. It seemed to have just gone back inside somewhere.
