Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
If your mother and you have a boil, these can be treated easily. Just do warm water compresses over the area two to three times in a day. Apply mupirocin or fusidic acid cream or nadifloxacin cream over affected area. Hopefully in few days the lesions should resolve. If they do not a course of antibiotic and incision with drainage of the lesion might be required.
As far as your father's condition is concerned, there is no self medication or home remedy for the same. You need a doctor's advise for his condition. Hope this helped.
Take care
