Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
You seem to be having bacterial infection of hair follicle ( Furuncle). Antibiotics are the mainstay treatment for it. I recommend you to see a dermatologist for this condition and not a gynecologist. HH Zole is a mid potent steroid and antifungal combination cream, please do not apply this on boils. Diclofenac gel ( lysoflam) is a pain relieving gel but used mainly for muscular aches and pains. Droxyl is an antibiotic and can be taken , however I would have given 500 mg twice a day for an adult like you.
Hope this helped.
Take care.
