Brief Answer:
Acne vulgaris

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your healthcare concerns

You are experiencing a large amount of boils on your skin. The pictures you sent do show infection and boils. This is usually seen in patients with acne vulgaris. I would recommend that you see your medical provider and be placed on daily oral antibiotics to help reduce your infections. If that does not work maybe a candidate for accutane.

I can these boils are big and painful but washing your skin and using topical creams do not help. You need oral antibiotic like minocycline or doxycycline to reduce your boils.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns and questions
