Allergy Prone, Have Recurrent Eruption Of Boils Which Subside With Antibiotics, Steroids, Piriton, Advised Biopsy. Permanent, Quick Relief?

l have these terrible allegies that look like boil and l have to take antibiotics, steroid to stop the inflammation and piriton to stop the itching. After it heals, it leaves horrible dark patches . this started about five months ago and since then l have done quite a number of blood test and gone through 4 treatments , but it keeps coming back after one subsides. l wa told l needed a biopsy to confirm the real issue, but l don t want my skin cut up becuase of such allergy. l am actually tired of taking the medication and require a fast relief that will be parmanent.

Hi welcome to H.C.M.Forum. don't worry you didn't use the medication for which your infection is sensitive. you are not expected to use steroids, which supress the infection. then again it flares. when you get a boil you get the pus tested for culture and sensitivity. which give you an idea of antibiotics to be used in order of sensitiveness. for allergy avoid brand of soap powder, and some foods like fish and brinjal. use green leafy vegetables, fruits. drink plenty of water, and juices. thank you.
