I have been treating myself with fucidic acid (anti-bacterial) for the past 2 months and the medication works for mostly if not all pustules. It works well on boils almost immediately, but there are a few stubborn ones where it doesn't seem to work. Is there anyone there who can explain this?

Most antibacterial antibiotics do not work against fungi. Their physiological chemistry is much closer to ours than bacteria. Fusidic acid is solely antibacterial. Co-infection by two different micro-organisms is not unheard of. Have those pustules scraped & cultured, by a dermatologist in order to try to identify the causative organism. Alternatively, if you are in a hurry, get some o.t.c. tinactin, at your local druggist (chemist), and apply it daily, for 3-4 weeks. If that does not work and the causative oeganism is found to be a dermatophyte fungus, one of the triazole antifungals should work. (like itraconazole, ketoconazole, or miconazole etc.). you will need a prescription for those latter drugs.
Bonne chance,
Dan.

My recommendation is that you stick with your treatment. There will be stubborn pustules that continue to resurface from time to time. In addition, you may want to take a supplement that improves the health of your skin. Specifically, you need something with Omega 3 and 6 oils. These are oils that are essential to our body, but they are not found in most common diets. I would recommend getting some flax seed oil....oh check out this website too: http://www.drweil.com/u/QA/QA326165/
