A boil is a suppurative infection that is a disease caused by a Staphylococcus aureus infection. Boils are usually treated by using medication and surgery. 1. Medication: Usually patients can take amoxicillin, cefuroxime, etc. or topical antibiotic medication such as erythromycin ointment and mupirocin ointment under doctor’s supervision, which can eliminate inflammation and promote healing. 2. Surgery: Boils are usually treated with incision and drainage surgery, which is usually done by opening the skin from the place of abscess and cutting open the skin so as to export the pus to achieve the therapeutic effect, meanwhile, the patients have to follow the doctor’s instructions and change the medication regularly after the surgery. Every boil can be cured very quickly, but it is prone to recurring attacks, which may be related to poor hygiene habits and endocrine system disorders, etc. The root cause of the boil needs to be addressed in these areas and treated under the guidance of a doctor.
