I have boils . i get them in my buttocks , waist , & arm pit . what is causing this and what can i do ?

Staph: Likely recurrent staph infection. This is often present in households.. Once you have a boil, it has to be drained. A culture can be obtained to confirm staph. Make sure everyone in the family is making an effort to treat it. There is a soap solution called Hibiclens and often placing an antibiotic ointment inside the nose for 1-2 weeks will help. Wash all sheets and clothing. All the best.
