A member asked:

What is the cause of boils and how can i stop it from spreading to other parts of my body? i always get infected for like every 2 weeks. it's my 3rd

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Staph aureus: Is the most common organism involved. You may be able to reduce the frequency of recurrence by trying to eliminate nasopharyngeal and skin carriage. Use Mupirocin ointment in nares bid for a month combined with bathing solely with chlorhexadine containing soap for a month. Do not use other soaps because it washes off the film of chlorhexadine created.
