Boils?

[angeleyez1016]

I have been getting a lot of boils lately in odd spots....I am not sure if it is normal in pregnancy or jot but I habe neber had them before. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks! And I can't use neosporin as it gives me a rash....had an appointment today...my doctor believes it is a staph infection so I  now taking clindamycin.

be careful that they are actually boils and not MRSA infections. they look very similar.

I agree on the MRSA. Let your doctor know about them. They can run a test to see if it MRSA or not. It has to be treated with antibiotics. It's also highly contagious.

I had them throughout my whole pregnancy. The only thing you can do is put hot compresses on them to get them to pop. When they do pop put neosporin on it and cover with a bandaid. It's also best to wash with an antibacterial soap like Hibiclens. I hope that helps.
