I never had acne as I was growing up. In fact, my first boil on my face was at age 37. I have been to many doctors and they all have put me on an antibiotic. I have been on many antibiotics over the past 5 years. Antibiotics don’t seem to be responding and have never totally cleared up the infection. They usually work just long enough for the boils to go away and then they come back with a vengeance! I have noticed a correlation between the boils on my face (they are always on my face), UTI’s and kidney infections. It never fails, I feel the boil start, I predict the UTI, boil gets really painful, sometimes I get a fever, I get a headache, kidney aches, I am continuously tired, I see doctor, then I get put on an antibiotic. It seems that it keeps getting more severe over time.  I have NOT been hospitalized for this or any infection. I have had ultrasounds, MRI, bladder scope, blood tests, urine tests….medical bills keep stacking up, but I still have the problem. This week I have two boils and even though I am getting plenty of rest, I can feel that I’m getting really sick again.

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.
