Battling With Boils... Expert Advice Needed by joyousf(op): 9:09pm On May 15, 2015
abeg make una help me o. I'm a nursing mum. my baby had this bacterial skin infection that looks like blisters with pus inside which Yoruba pple call 'alefo'. someone advised that I burst it with needle n use cotton wool to dab off the pus so it doesn't spread.unfortunately while doing that the needle pricked me. since then I av been battling with boils for almost two months now. I've used ampiclox even bought Beecham and chymotrycin or so to no avail. don't want to use antibiotics again cos I heard too much of it s bad for d body. I. just resorted to taking a multivitamin though I eat well.
pls wat else can I do? I initially thought its d normal boil that comes n goes but once one bursts n its over another one sprouts somewhere else. d thing don tire me o
