Boils: These are often staphylococcal and if you have been treated unsuccessfully with antibiotics you may want to have this cultured, surgically unroofed and then treated for a prolonged time period (4-6 wks) with an antibiotic to which the organism isolated by culture is sensitive. Good luck. Inshallah.
