MRSA: Exposure to locker rooms, military barracks or hospitals can predispose you to MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus) that is resistant to oral antibiotics, and quite dangerous. A visit to your doctor would be prudent.

You need medcheckups: Your skin may be a carrier for staphylococcus, a skin bacteria which can cause repeated skin infections. So you should be under the care of one medical doctor preferably a MD Medicine physician. He/she can do a skin culture from your boils and then give you appropriate treatment and also institute preventive measures to reduce the risk of future infections. You should also be checked for diabetes
