Soaps containing chlorhexidine are good for careful skin / hand cleaning.

I think boils contain nasty infectious stuff that needs to be diligently removed and any residue on nearby skin very, very carefully and thoroughly cleaned off else I think there's a high risk of the boils recurring on nearby skin.
