Recurring boils (chronic furunculosis)
from:One cause of recurring boils if you are otherwise healthy is that you, or someone in
your family or household, may be a 'carrier' of Staphylococcus bacteria. This means
that a certain number of these bacteria live harmlessly on your skin, or in your
nose.
If you are a 'carrier' you tend to be more prone to skin infections and boils.
In particular, these bacteria may quickly invade and multiply in broken skin
following a minor cut or injury.
Treatment with antibiotics and/or antibiotic nasal
cream may clear Staphylococcus bacteria from 'carriers' and reduce the chance of
boils, or other types of skin infection, from recurring.
If you develop recurring boils, your doctor may suggest some tests to look for an
underlying cause. For example, to check if you have a poor immune system.
