Boils In Cleavage, Red, Painful, Pus-filled. How To Get Rid Of Them?
Hello My wife has these boils in her cleavage area. They get red, painful and then burst into puss and then comes again. This has been happening for the past 1-2 months now. she also had similar boil on her face also but has now gone away, however it was not as bad as the one in her cleavage since there was proper air to pass through. Is there anything she can do to avoid these boils and make it go away Thank you
Hi,
Your wife must have been suffering from recurrent pyoderma (bacterial skin infection).
The cause of recurrence may be decreased immune status. it may be due to many conditions like Diabetes, pregnancy, old age, treatment with immunosuppresive therapy etc.
Visit a dermatologist and discuss the whole matter. Get all the suggested investigations done and keep regular follow up.
