A member asked:
If i have recurrent boils, should i bath with an antibacterial soap/wash (or at least wash the affected area) or a normal soap is enough and works?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibacterial soap: bathing with an antibacterial soap or cleanser would be helpful, but if attacks become more frequent or more severe, would see dermatologist to be evaluated
