HI,

Recurrent boils or furuncles are painful bumps in the skin that may resolve without treatment. However, this can also  progress deeper in the skin,  connecting  other furuncles and may lead to carbuncle.  Occasionally, the organism responsible may also  get into the bloodstream  and may cause infections elsewhere such as in a bone or joint and even in the heart.  In between outbreaks of boils, the staph is still present on your body. Your neck pain could be due inflammed lymph nodes resulting from this infection.  Antibiotic treatment is usually indicated . Have this evaluated further for proper management.  T

Take care and keep us posted.
