What Is The Cure For Huge Boils Breakout Throughout The Body?

My grand daughter is having big huge boils breaking out on her body. We get one cleared up and new ones show up.
She is only two years old. I at first thought it was a yeast infection from taking antibiotics for previous infections, but the medicine her pediatrician prescribed did not clear them up.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

The build which she is getting are likely to be superficial skin infection known as Impetigo and is caused by staphylococcus aureus.
Repeated and recurrent lesion is likely to be due to carrier state of the child. Children nay harbour the bacteria in the nasal cavity.
I would suggest a nasal swab to rule out carrier state. If carrier state is present then will require appropriate management.
So get back to me with the details.

Take care

Best Regards
