Brief Answer:
You probably need antibiotics to treat these boils/abscesses

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you o much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these boils that you have reported. The information provided suggests that there is an active infection going on at this time. Best treatment consists in wound care and antibiotics. Unfortunately, antibiotics are not available over the counter and you will need a script from your prescribing doctor for this. I will therefore recommend that you go ahead and get in contact with your doctor for this. In most cases, flucloxacillin is a good option for this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
