Yes, I get terrible night sweats and get sweat boils in folds of skin, back of neck, under my boobs and 'lower down' if you follow my drift. I usually clean the area with TCP and slap on some Germolene - as good as anything else

HI Nikki, It's probably a staph infection. If you see your GP they'll be able to give you some antibiotic cream and anti-bac skin wash or, if that doesn't clear it, a course of oral antibiotics. We all carry staph but sometimes the body can't fully defend itself so you get boils. I've had it when I've been poorly or in prolonged flair. I keep a supply of antibiotic cream and Hibiscrub and go to work as soon as the first boil rears its ugly head and that does the trick for me now. Hope you get it sorted quickly as I know it's blooming painful x

I get huge ones in my nether regions. Massive ones that stop me from walking. When they go the go. Awful painful smelly things. My doc says hot bath, as hot as you can get it.

Its funny, well not funny but, I hadnt had one in a while. Went to the loo on Sunday, wiped myself and the paper was full of blood. I called my hubby to see what he could see, it was another one of those things I hadnt known I had. Made an awful mess but wasnt so painful;. I have anitseptic wipes, I need some HIbiscrub, must get some. x

I get those horrible boils on jaw and neck, as well as under armpits and down below. Have found that if I eat too much sugary stuff it happens. I take

Lambert's multi guard control which is a multivitamin with cinnamon which helps to regulate blood sugar. My blood number was 9.8 but came down to 6 with these. Still if I eat too much sugar one or two may come up, but that's like a warning to cut right down.

thanks everyone for your input. i finally got to the doctors on monday morning as i couldnt walk or move without pain. he gave me some anti-biotics. i told him to take a swab of what was coming out by this time and i get the results next week. i told him that i didnt like the thought of having to take anti-biotics every other month for the rest of my life. i want to know what is causing me to get them and how to manage them in future. the lump has finally gone down, although there is still a hard lump remaining.
