Suggest Treatment For Boils In Armpits

I went to the doctor with a boil under my arm. He gave me antibiotics and it came to a soft big ball and busted it was oil and blood is all that came out of it. as soon as it went away i got another one in another spot under my arm and then one under the other arm with total of 5 , three under one arm and 2 under the other then i got one in my grown area and it did the same thing . This has been going on now for 2 months and never goes away. I owe a bill to my doctor so i cant go back to show him what is going on until i can pay and return to him but they hurt very bad pain from them. Do you know what this could be caused from?

The area you have sited are those where there is maximum perspiration . So it may be the one of the reason as infection occurs in sweat glands results in boil formation. It can be avoided by keeping the area dry and using cotton underwears to absorb the persporation. You jave bot written regarding your age but if it diabetes pron then high blood sugar level should also rule out.

I hope it will help
