Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have boils due to either low immunity or diabetes. You should check your sugar. In cancer patients immunity is at lower level and high chance of infection is there. It may be the reason.
you should take antibiotics to control that.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.

Wish you a very good health.

You have non hodgkins lymphoma so you have immuno deficient state. You should check for blood sugar level also. Immunodeficiency and diabetes both are the common cause of repeated infection. You may have both or one of them which leads to skin infection. You should take antibiotics accordingly.
