Ihave over 3 weeks had 7 boils on am embarrassing place and in the end went to the doctor's. When I rang up I was asked can I take a picture of them. I said no as it's in a unreachable place and embarrassing! I got a telephone appointment then when I spoke to the doctor she said I had to see her. I was pleased as I needed antibiotics. I saw her and she said it's a cyst! But I don't agree it feels like a boil and they were spreading. She had put me on clarithromycin 500 mg twice a day. She said don't take methotrexate while on these tablets as you could be ill!
I am hoping this medication works as I have been in agony. I have 3 boils one on top of the other. She said it's not a hair follicle, but a bad infection. Anyone else had these?
Take care.
