Suggest Remedy For Boils In Butt

Hi, my two years old daughter has quite big boil around her butt and it keep coming back every month. She has been taking Cephalexin every month and I don't think it's a good idea to take antibiotics everymonth. She does now wear diaper and we wash that area everyday with anti-germ soap.

Than for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that now don not start giving the antibiotic if this is not infection then antibiotic wont work here, it this is infection and the formation of pus there and some lymph node involvement is there then this could turn into antibioma better to treat this with anti-inflammatory drugs only wait for few days if the symptoms does not improved see the surgeon, have a nice day.
