Hi thanks for writing to healthcare magic.Boil is infection of hair roots.Start taking antibiotic like cefadroxil 500 mg twice daily for 5 days.Apply antibiotic cream like mupirocin over affected area.Do not apply oil over hairs.Shampoo your hairs regularly.I hope this can solve your problem.Take care.
