Boils with Pus in legs

2017-04-08 08:17:38
I am 47 year old female. Multiple boils with pus in both legs one by one. The area around the boil gets very red and it turns into an ulcer. After one is treated another one comes in other leg and so on. I don't have diabetes. I avoid oily and spicy food. I eat lots of fruits. How will this be treated?

It could be a staphylococcal infection. You need to consult a physician who upon examination would prescribe you appropriate antibiotics.
