A member asked:

Soooooo paranoid about getting more boils after the first one. am still on antibiotics and have bactrum for the next 5 days. anything else i can do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hibiclens: I would consider showers with hibiclens 2-3 times per week, or baths with 2-3 oz of bleach added. Talk to your physician about nasal bactroban or having bactroban on hand to apply to small pustules before the lesions become large or require oral antibiotics. Combination therapy with 2 antibiotics may be helpful with reoccurrence. Make sure you moisturizer after hibiclens showers or baths w bleach.
