Ur dr needs to C it: You want to make sure that your lesions are not infected, and from your comment that you see green pus present in boils indicates that it needs immediate attention. So don't delay in seeing your doctor, so that they can tell you what your next step is. They may need to use stronger medications to help you control the infection/ inflammation. So just follow what they say to do.

Infection: This may be impetigo which is a highly contagious skin infection requiring oral antibiotic and antibacterial ointment.treatment. Wash the infected area with mild soap and warm water in an effort to remove scabs so the antibiotic ointment will be more effective. Use your own face cloths and towels. See your physician for diagnosis and treatment.
