A member asked:
I have a rash that resembles boils all over my sides, breasts and back. there are about 50 of them. very painful. what should i do?

Boil rash on side: What you describe may be shingles(herpes zoster) i doubt they are boils. Shingles are very painful and go around usually on one side of your body. See your doctor because early treatment is very important to prevent complications.
