Boils: Mmay be colonized with MRSA ( methacillin resistent staph aureus) or other staph. Wash daily, clean clothes , wash after sweating. Can try Hibiclens - sold in pharmacies- used in the hospital prior to surgery. Decreases bacterial count. use 1-2 x/wk ( do not use in eyes , mouth mucus membranes or genitals). Would just also check CBC, immunoglobulins , sed rate.f/u/ w/ doc
