You need to go to the doctor and get an anti-biotic. Boils are caused by a staph infection. There's no over-the-counter medication for it.

Boils are caused by a bacteria in the body. A physician can remove them -they do not go away with out help. If you have a lot, be sure to tell the doctor that, you may be helped by antibiotics.

You should switch (or ideally, stop using) deodorant. These are caused by pore blockage, and deodorant is typically the #1 culprit.
As for the scarring, you're stuck. Try some vitamin E gel, but once the scar is there, it's usually stubborn because the skin is so thin.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

a combination of antibiotics and an antibacterial soap such as dettol will help remedy them.As far as the marks go to your chemist and request Hirudoid cream,funny name I know but it was made to specifcly target tissue scars it cost around thirty australian dollars hope this helps all the best
