Does anyone know of an effective remedy for boils? I had one already on my thighthat the doctor prescribed a course of 4x daily 500mg Flucloxacillin. I'd rather not take any more antibiotics if possible.
Now I have one under my arm. what could be causing this? I've never had a boil in my life and now 2 in 3 months? I did wonder if i picked something up in Ghana in April (don't get any funny ideas!) As one of the British staff was telling me about a local who had some and was reluctant to go to the doctor - i know the skin biome is quite resilient and soap is not an antiseptic/antibiotic so something skin-bourne from towels or bedding?
But other than that i really have no idea why it's started.
2mg methylene blue daily doesn't seem to have helped.
Really appreciate any ideas
Thanks
