What Do Boils On The Fingers, Thighs And Armpits Indicate?

Hie I had a boil on my finger and it goes away then after 2 days I noticed more boils on my thigh under armpits and at my back then I went to see the doctor and gave me antibiotic. Now the problem is at my back there is another boil again next to the old one. What may the cause?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Recurrent skin infection is seen commonly with diabetes and poor skin hygiene.
So first get done HbA1C (glycosylatrd hemoglobin).
If this is normal then no need to worry for diabetes.
For good skin hygiene, avoid moisture and perspiration. Use antiseptic soaps. Avoid dust and pollution. Wear only cotton clothes. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
