Sounds like a staph infection. Your friend should see a doctor as soon as possible. It's contagious & can be serious. Good luck. 2D

I suggest your friend go to the doctor.
She may be able to get rid of some of them by soaking in warm water. This will help to relieve pain and draw the boil out. Also, a warm, damp compact applied to the skin for 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times a day can also draw the boil out. Once the boil drains, either wash it with antibacterial soap, or apply idiodine to ensure that no bacteria can enter the fresh wound and cause further infection of the boil.
Your friend needs to keep clean.

My friend said that he went to see Dr. for the same thing. The good Dr. draw it out right there in his office very carefully with out touch any good skin. Pain is gone in an instant. After some medicine, all the boils were gone.

Penny's answer is right on. Two of my girls struggled with boils last summer. That is everything the Dr. told us to do. My girls actually had MRSA, which is a staff infection. It does need to be treated with an antibiotic also. Tell your friend to go to the Dr and have them tested for MRSA.

This is totally unnatural and "boils" are the result of a staph infection. There isn't anything she can do herself to "get rid of them'. She either needs to be seen by her physician or go to the nearest emergency room for treatment. best wishes

she can wash her nasty body, then she can get some retin a and smear on them. the doc can give her a prescription or she can order online without a script from www.inhousepharmacy.com it's not a good idea to be her own doctor though, she should make a visit to one and don't give me that she has no insurance, usually most insuraances have a deductable and co-pay so what she will pay for the office visit will negate the co-pay and deductable.

ouch!!! She needs to see a DR as this could be from something serious like an infection. If they are just nasty acne then I suggest getting her hormones tested and usinf CARLEY"S CLEAR & SMOOTH (found on ebay). Good luck to her and good on you for sticking by her and helping her out!!!

Yikes....I think I would go to the doctor. I have never heard of that....sounds like it could be an allergic reaction to something.
Good Luck!

See a doctor. There are shots to prevent boils
I suspect that she has somehow come in contact with coal dust. If she has, she needs to tell her doctor.
