This is bullous impetigo. Buy Mupirocin cream from the pharmacy and apply on the area. It will heal up within days. Otherwise, you will keep wasting money until it gets worse. It doesn't respond to other topical antibiotics.

Also, act fast, so it doesn't disseminate through the blood. That would be worse!

PS. I'm a medical doctor.

You're right! Most likely bullous impetigo. However, OP mentioned that they have tried treating with antibiotics and it's not been responsive. As much as impetigo has a low systemic absorption, (hence topical abx preferred), Bullous is quite a stubborn one and it may be worth trying an oral abx with a better systemic absorption such as cefalexin.

Please doctors in the house, for some weeks now my 4yr old son has this recurring boils on his back and armpit, when I burst them, it brings out a pus like substance and form a sore. I went to the hospital, the doctor said it was a bacteria infection and I was giving some antibiotics, yet so far no tangible results. Please I need your assistance
now This is what you should do:
1. Change his bedsheets and wash his clothes more frequently.
2. Bath him 2-3 times daily with antiseptic
3. Press out his pus
4. Give him antibiotics (augmentin most preferably)
5. Be more cautious of his school environment. See how tidy the place is.
it’s worm infection, commonly caused by untidiness.

Yeah, when it's still not beyond the "topical" level, mupirocin should do, and that's about the only topical antibiotic that works. Well, he didn't mention the "antibiotics". Could be irrelevant ones that have no business with this kind of infection.

Bacterial infection. Most likely impetigo. Your doctor is right. Continue with the prescriptions he gave you.

what are the other symptoms apart from the boil and pus.
Does it itch your child?
And does it get red occasionally.

And has your child hard chicken pox or measles before?
It's nt something to panic about!

That is classical impetigo.. its a bacteria Infection that's starts with vesicles or pustules and then crust . It's very infectious and starts usually around the mouth or face. Occasionally from other parts of the body back or loin region.

Causavative organism is staphylococcus aureus or streptococcal pyogenese

Treatment ... Mupirocin ointment or fusidic ointment + oral syrup flucloxacillin.

If it isn't something out of the ordinary then it is MRSA infection or an increase in other types of staph bacteria in the body. If he has several boils in the same place, he may be developing a carbuncle.

This is also on my children's body.

It spreads fast and it's contagious.

They said it's caused by Kokoro Inu Eje. We bought Agunmu Kokoro inueje and nnru. And it's drying off.

I'm not sure if this will be helpful. I never used to have boils until suddenly in 2019 I had reoccuring boils almost every month..
First thing I'll advise is, you need to check if he has changed his Soap.. Use an antiseptic soap, it worked for me.. For the boils, forget all the expensive meds, it didn't work.. I just used ampliclox by Beecham.. it worked like magic..

I hope this works for you
