Hello,

If antibiotics fail to clear up such boils, then one has to get them drained by surgeon so that there is no source of infection in future.In complete clearance of infection is cause of such repeat boils.Antibiotics may not reach the subcutaneous fat tissue effectively so fail to clear infection.Regards.
