Are these children bathing properly? Do they have open cuts?
Take them to doctor and find out. Staff infections can escalate!

Staph infections are spread through different ways. The best way to prevent infections is to use proper handwashing techniques, and wash hands frequently (before eating, after using the bathroom, sneezing, coughing, before preparing food etcetera).
The children will need antibiotics.

The Staph bacteria likes to grow and live under the fingernails. So if the kids have been picking their nose or if they get a cut or a rash and scratch at it then they can get a staph infection.

Bactericide it the cream you can get from your doctor. Staph comes from the nose mainly its an immune deficiency the boils end up in the weakest immune part of your body. the Bactericide you will put on the boil and in both your nostrils with a q tip
