Recurrent boils: Have u seen ur doctor about this? Maybe you have staph infection recurring. You may need to have these cultured. You can try cleaning your nostril with betadine swabs for 4-5 days straight and clean the areas where you have boils with betadine until they clear. Mupirocin ointment in the nostrils for 2 weeks at night may clear any staph in your nose.
