Hi,
Boils also called pyoderma is a bacterial skin disease caused by staphylococci. Immunodeficiency may be responsible. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Investigations may be done to get knowledge about the general condition of the patient. Perfect antibiotic in proper dose may be given by your doctor. Antiinflammatory drugs may be taken also. Apply antibiotic cream. Take steps to improve immunity.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
