Boils, rashes & etching
Boils, rashes & etching on lower body (upper part of leg and hips). It's been one and a half year and I'm unable to get rid of it. I've tried various medicines but nothing has helped me get rid of it. Boils are really really painful and drain a lot of pus and blood when they are made into bumps.
