Boils

by manoj_cce, Dec 16, 2007 05:08AM
My mother is diabetic.  She has recently developed boils, this is the first time something like this is happening.  This qualifies to be a boil more than anything else, but apparently it hurts her a lot.  I am wondering whether this will be just any boil or not.  Its been there for almost two weeks plus now.  She is now 54 years old. She is still working and is not agreeing to see a doctor saying that this is too trivial a reason for consulting a doc.

Any advice on this matter will be appreciated.
