Hello,

I read your message and understood your problem.

Boils are caused by a germ called staphylococcus which infects the hair fat/oil glands

There are some conditions that promote this infection. If you do not avoid these potential risk factors you may get another infection.

Poor hygiene, a weak immune system, agents that irritate the skin promote this infection.

Try to:
- have a good skin hygiene.
- improve your nutrition
- take care to treat properly for other health conditions (gastritis and other)
- do not get exposed to harsh chemicals that will damage your skin

These tricks will prevent you gain new infections. Also, you are youngs and hormones may contribute in developing acne.

Wash the face with warm water and anti-bacterial soap. Use a topical antibacterial cream to fight the infection.

If you have fever or chills you must seek medical help.

Hope I helped you
