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.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Sorry I couldn't give more advice.
