Boils: Staphylococcal infection is a common cause of recurrent boils. Other family members may carry it on the skin without symptoms and pass it around. Need to find out the exact cause of it. Your physician can culture the pus. If staphylocoocal infection is confirmed discuss with your pcp about treatment options to try to eradicate staphylococcus from skin.
