A member asked:
Is there a vitamin i can take for boils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I am unaware of any scientifically validated direct connection between an individual with boils and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Keeping one's immune system strong and in optimal condition can help the body prevent and fight infections and vitamin, mineral, and nutritional supplements usually take that angle in promoting. Consultation with a dermatologist would likely be much more helpful.
