blood investigation is done to corroborate the clinical findings. What is needed first is examination of the affected area. The boils will need a course of oral and / or topical antibiotics. Diabetes need to be ruled out if the history of boil is recurrent. And what you think of as psoriasis, it can be commented on only after examination of the affected area.
the lesions you call psoriasis, are they scaly and do they increase in winter?
