boils

Hi

check out yourself for diabetes and any other medical problems through your GP - then start a skin sterilisation programme or take advice from a specialist

regards

My sister has been breaking out in boils for the past 2 months. The doctor cultured them, and she has

a staph infection/MRSA. The treatment for this infection is IV vancomycin. The infection is highly contagious,

and I know since I got it from her. Precautions need to be take so as not to infect other people.

There are of course other causes for your problem, so this is just one avenue to pursue. I hope this helps.

Diet and beauty are co related opting oil food may help you a lot

As a teen I used to have numerous boils. The dermatologist my mum took me to told me to eat a handful of raisins everyday!! Not had a boil since! My son gets them but won't eat raisins ( doesn't like them) but when he has one flare up I take a needle and pick gently the center then lay a small piece of bacon fat on it and cover with a bandaid. By morning you can pull off bacon and the puss from the boil (including the core) will be on the bacon. Clean with anti bacteria soap put a dab of antibacterial ointment on it (ie. Neosporin, bacitracin..) and it's done. Heals right up!!! 

Just wondering if its safe to rub diluted zonrox bleach on it. Anti bacterial creams dont work and the rest of my family have not been infected out of a single instance, my dad and my baby sister but only mine has been reoccurring. A total of 3 major boils, 2 of which took 2-3 days to develop then i need to drink penicilin derived antibiotics because i show signs of septic shock but then... but they start from a tiny pimple. First instance was on july 2016 then it reoccured on august/october of the same year, next was around December, nearing january 2016 then the most recent is march 2017. When i start to drink the medicine it creates a hole in the boil on the first and second day... Then on the third the puss drains out and leaves gum like puss that i pull out which leaves a hole. After which i just keep dressing it until it heals completely. (Ugly scar btw) ok so one time during... January 2017 i noticed a boil start to develop on my butt so i start dabbing it with the zonrox bleach dilluted with some water, its not exact but its just so its not concentrated... Around 5ml water for every 2-3ml of bleach. And it goes away. It isnt a permanent solution since im still gettjng boils... But if i notice it in the earliest stages, i can stop it.

Have not gone to the doctors and i am currently 18 as of February 2017
