Getting boils first my hands, then my chin.now my elbow. what can it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Boils: Boils can come in clusters if your skin is colonized by staph bacteria. High blood sugar and low immunity may be predisposed factors. In my experience a course of an effective antistaph antibiotic like dicloxacillin for a couple of weeks or more is needed to eradicate the staph colonies and stop the boils.See your physician and discuss the treatment with him or her. Blood testing can also be done
