Specializes in General Practice

Various: A twenties female with scattered recurrent "boils" has an quandary. Either she is being exposed to a density of environmental germs or has a constitutional problem. Perhaps there is a nutritional deficite. Deficiencies in the immune system and certain immunoglobulins might be causal. The type of specialist to encounter would be an infection disease (id) doctor.
