Hi,
Use ciclopirox olamine shampoo every alternate days, apply fusidic acid cream on the boils twice daily, take tablet cetirizine 10 mg once daily and capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily. Continue this for 2 weeks and revert.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
