Boils are usually caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus.
Most people who get recurrent boils are colonised with S. aureus. These bacteria are very good at sticking to skin, and can be carried in the nose or on the skin for a long time. As these bacteria can easily be passed around between members of the family, it is very common for several family members to have boils.
Treatment includes course of antibiotics to deal with the infection. If the boils do not respond to the antibiotics, they may need to be drained and removed.
It can be hard to completely remove S. aureus from the body. The following treatment can help, but to make sure it works as well as possible, all members of the family should have this treatment at the same time.
•
Naseptin – a medication taken four times a day for a period of 10 day.
•
Chlorhexidine shower or bath and hairwash every day for a period of 14 days.
•
Keep a separate towel for each member of the family, change for a clean towel every two days and wash the dirty towels on a hot wash cycle.
