Boils All Over The Body After Delivery
Doctor , my wife delivered a baby girl in Nov 2010 by C-section. After a month or so of delivery she started having boils over her body. The problem still persists as every week she develops a boil or two which is painful and irritating. She had been on Iron ad Calcium medication postpartum. Any specific reasons for the boils? What could be the remedy?

thanks for choosing health care magic.this could be because of some skin infection.First of all you need to treat it.Apply some antibiotic cream over it.Take help your primary doctor for medication as she is nursing mother so antibiotics cannot be taken on own.Your doctor may advised some blood test to have look at the some infection responsible for this.In mean time if you are leaving in high humid conditions avoid wearing tight fitting clothes.Use more of cotton clothes.
