Have Recurrent Boils On Body. Antibacterial Wash Ineffective. Help
Hi there, I had a baby boy just over 5 months ago and since then I have had 6 boil type things on my body. They are not in any particular place and result in abscess . I get one a month roughly. I have seen a DR and they always prescribe antibiotics but they dont really do anything. I was also given an anti bacterial wash to use and that has not helped either. I was told by the DR that they are common after having a baby and to live with it. I am now getting very depressed as I am now covered in scars and the one I have at the moment is on my breast which is exceptionally painful esp as I am breastfeeding .
