i have had reoccurring/persistent boils for the last two years - i've lost count of the amount of AB's i've taken, which seem to help for about 6 months and then another flare up happens...they are horrible. i'm insulin resistant so i know mine are caused due to elevated sugars. with the bactroban, i had to apply it to the boils as well as inside my nose as apparently that is where the staph bug lives. having said all that, i haven't had any for nearly 12 months now but i really feel for your DD


as JM said, ensuring everything is clean (daily washing of bedding, towels etc) is very important to help stop the spread of infection. Also ensuring that when the boil does burst, it is covered to ensure that the pus draining does not infect other areas in its vicinity.

i hope they clear up for your DD soon
