Question: My 78 yr. old husband has a condition known as "boils". He has had several lanced through his lifetime but now the boils don't heal even after lancing. The current one is still draining after 18 months. Now he has another 3 comping up; 2 on his back and one right under his right eye, right beside his nose.
