Boils on my skin
I am getting boils or rather body acne all over my skin especially on my stomach and thighs. They are very small in size but very painful. I had consulted a skin specialist who told me it's a bacterial infection and given me medicine for the same. The situation was under control for the period of dosage i.e 8 days but after that again these boils started emerging. Can I get to know why these boils are coming and how to treat them. Also most antibiotics don't suit me so I need a solution that will not have any after effects/side effects.

Don't worry, it is easily treatable. To re-confirm the diagnosis previously made, an image of it would be essential.
And since you said that most antibiotics don't work on you, hence your medication history along with side effects profile and allergies will have to be noted before prescribing any medication.

It probably might be a sebaceous cyst . Kindly get an ultrasound done . Or else consult a general surgeon for physical examination usually swellings won’t resolve with medication they need a minor procedure to be done for excision under local anesthesia . Kindly visit a doctor . That would be much helpful to you . Or else attach a photo . For better assessment .
