Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

i am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.

I would keep a possibility of recurrent folliculitis/furuncle.
I suggest her to take tablet clavum 625mg, three times daily for a week.
Topically she may use T-bact cream, twice daily over boils.

Regards
