Painful boils
Respected doctor
I am experiencing painful boils over my body as seen in the attached image.
It is summer boils or some kind of bacterial infection?
Further is it symptom of STD? As I had a risky recent experience.
Thanks

It is bacterial infection.
You should get Blood CBC and Blood sugar (F&PP) done.
For the possible treatment without waiting for investigation reports please consult with a General Physician on Practo.

Doesn't look like STD. Its a bacterial skin infection. Antibiotic will give good relief.
