Staph infection
I keep getting these boils which are red and painful. I have had 6 in the past 5 months (1 on shoulder and 5 near vaginal opening at different times). When I checked online it seemed to be a staph infection though I am not completely sure. But this is recurring and I want to get rid of this. I have consulted online multiple times and have been repeatedly prescribed ciplox 500 and enzoflam but this gives only temporary relief but keeps coming back. Kindly advise some antibiotic for a permanent solution.
