Developed Painful Boils Filled With Pus Mixed With Blood After Quitting Meth. Very Bad And Big Under The Skin Leaving Purple Scars. Cure For Boils?

after i quit using meth about 5 years ago i developed boils on my inner thighs. they get really bad sometimes and really big under the skin (sometimes up to the size of a golf ball) they never come to a head so i cannot pop them and they leave really bad purple scars and sometimes indents. i have seen doctor after doctor and dermatologists too and no one can figure out what my problem is. they are really painful and they come one at a times sometimes and sometimes i will have multiple at one time. when i can pop them this liquid that looks like blood mixed with puss pours out. can you please help me

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

You might have developed furuncles.

These are deep bacterial infections.

Treatment is with antibiotics but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
