Heat Boils

2019-11-18 23:38:38
Hello Doctor. I sometimes get boils which become hard first, then they turn squishy and it burst and has puss and blood and is very painful. I took medicine for this almost 8 years back and it was fine then. From past few months it has started again. I get these in my inner thigh area and currently on upper back. Please assist
