Suggest Medications For Boils

Hi,

I've had two boils on the left side of my face in the past month (the first was bigger than the second). Took an antibiotic during the first but I guess that did not help The second's now fully drained and healing. I've however also developed an itchy skin rash on my face. Is this common with boils?

After going through your history, itchy skin rash can be seen with boils.
I would suggest you to visit a dermatologist for the proper examination and correct treatment for your problem.
