Do everything Radagst mentioned plus look in the Yahoo answers archives about staph colonization and using Bactroban ointment on both your skin and intranasal. You have staph germs colonized in your nose and until treated the boils will tend to continue. Bactroban is a prescription med but buying the generic mupirocin ointment works as well as the name brand.

Boils are staph aureus infections.
Bath frequently, wash all your clothes, especially right after a boil broke open or was lanced.
Soap won't kill Staph, but it will help wash it away.
