Ok, so this isn't strictly acne but unfortunately, there is not a discussion board for this.

Does anyone on here suffer from or has suffered with boils? If so, have you found a remedy to cure them?

Right now, I am suffering with my third boil in as many weeks. They have all been in and around the same area and I reckon the infection just spread. Yesterday I was given my fourth dose of Cefalexin tablets this year - this is my sixth boil this year, always on my face. These last three have really got me down and I haven't been out of the house since last Wednesday when a stranger made a very nasty comment about my face. It really affected my self esteem and I have been scared to venture out since then. I have been tested by my doctor for any problems with my thyroid, kidneys and have been checked for diabetes - all clear. So, it seems I am susceptible to them.

I am crying as I write this as I am so fed up with it and just wondered if anyone has alternative treatments that they have used to help them with this problem.
