My father used to have boils that were really bad, this was before I was born but this is what he told me. The doctor said eat loads of fresh yeast a day and that will cure it and it did. It could be a lack of B vitamins in your diet. You can buy yeast tablets or B vitamin tablets. I'm not sure if this is any use to you but I really hope you can get over this.

Well I use a facial steamer, it works really well, set it on hot for 15 min, then cold. I tried it the other day, and now my face is back to normal. If you do hot, it hurts a bit because the steam is hot, but its actually opening up your blocked pores, and then cold makes your face fell good. If it doesn't work the first time, do it a couple more times. You notice how your face feels really greasy afterwards, that's the stuff in your blocked pores. Pat your face dry with a clean towel, if you scrub, it irritates your face. Good luck!

You may want to do an internet search for Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It's a skin condition that causes recurring "boils" in the areas of the body that have appocrine sweat glands (thighs, buttocks, underarms and under the breasts).

You need antibiotics from the docs office. Boils are caused by the staph bacteria and the only way to really treat them is with antibiotics. Go see your doctor tomorrow.

The above poster is right. You need to see a doctor and get some antibiotics. It's a staph bacteria.

i have this too.
it gets on my legs alot, and my mom had some antiseptic wash (shes a nurse) and i scrub it on my legs in the shower, than wash it off. works like a charm. it took care of my problem fast, but i still use it to prevent future break outs. go see a doctor. good luck!
