Recurring Boils Around Groins, Thighs, Buttocks, Leaving Black Mark. Antibiotics Not Effective. Solution?
Hi Doctor, I keep getting boils around my groins, thighs and buttocks . which leaves a black mark in that area. i am having this problem from past 3-4 years. Three months back i had a boil in my thigh i consulted a doctor he gave me AUGMENTIN 625 antibiotic tablets but it did not work and boil became very big. Then i consulted another doctor he gave me LINID antibiotic for 5 days it worked and after several dressings it healed but left a black mark. After a month i again had boils on my buttocks but this time i took LINID myself at very early stage for 3 days. then i consulted doctor he gave me a different antibiotic tablet (zondle). But again after two months i am having boils in my groin area. Please help me. I am also having anal fissure problem. Earlier i used ciplox tablets many times.

hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum
thank you for your query
you have recurrent bacterial infection .
it is common now a day due to common use of antibiotic .
it is better to do culture and sensitivity test to find out which bacteria is there and which antibiotic is effective
nose,genital ,umbilical are carrier side for some bacteria so we have to treat this area also even though there is no lesion over there
topical retapamuli is effective .
if lesion persist better to consult dermatologist
i hope i answered your question
