Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  You need to apply a topical antibiotic cream when you find pus along with antibiotic medications. When it dries up take paticular care to keep the area clean so that it doesn't develop again. You can use metrogyl-p when you have the boil. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
