I am a 37 year old female. In the past couple of months, I started getting boils in different areas on body. The first was inside my nose (very painful). Then, one surfaced on my ribcage. Both eventually went away. I then developed a boil on my tailbone right at the top of the crack. That one got so big that it abcessed and I had to have it lanced (extremely painful). Couldn't sit for days. Since then I have gotten three more in the same area on my tailbone all at different times. Two went away on their own, but the one I have currently seems to be lingering. I have tried hot compresses, hot baths, even a heating pad, but I'm really worried that I will have to have this one lanced also. Can anyone tell me why all of the sudden I am getting these? I had read about people that carry staph in their body are prone to getting them. I took an antibiotic during delivery of my twins four years ago, because they said I had that. Please help!
