What Causes Pus-filled Boils All Over The Body?
Hey... I've been getting these pus-filled boils all over my body... Especially in my thigh region and the pain is unbearable. Besides that, they leave dark brown marks in the area and I really want to get rid of them fast... Ive been applying a paste of neem leaves which has kind of helped reduce them but the marks that I have already got are not going and I think it's folliculitus:..

Hi.
Thank for your query and your diagnosis of folliculitis,..
Well
You need a proper course of antibiotic and supportive medicines.
Apply liquid povidone iodine (betadine) to the affected are twice a day to kill the skin bacteria.
The skin takes 3 months for the regeneration- that is the minimum time the body will take for the marks to go - if you stop fiddling with them .
