I had an infected pimple which turned into a boil. my doctor prescribed topical & oral antibiotic. my main issue is that my face is slowlyswelling up.?

Skin infection.: If the boil is located on the trunk or lower extremities, then the most frequest cause of swelling would be allergy to the medication(s). If the boil is on the head or neck there could be a spread of the infection to the face.
