I am a 68yr old male and have been suffering with boils and pimples for a number of years. I have recently changed doctors due to a home move.
My new doctor has explained that the cause of the problem is not known, but prescribed a daily application of Corticosteroid (named BETACAP in UK) twice daily until the problem receeds onto the affected area, then as required.
I have found that this has worked for me and I now have control of the problem although the manufacturers data does state that this will not be a cure.
My previous doctor prescibed antibiotics.
I hope this is of help to all sufferers!
Guys, I know I am replying a year later. I have the same problem. I am doing Ayurvedik treatment. My doctor has given me some herbel blood purifier and herbel medicines. It is working very fast. The best way to avoid boils for very lifetime is through a controlled diet, pranayama and yoga which removes impurities from our blood.
Get tested for MRSA.

1. When I went to stay in cold climates where temp was less than 15 I found the boils disappeared.
2. I live in tropical warm country in south India. The air conditioner in my offfice, I found was also a reason, it dries the scalp and again there are many bacterial colones that live in the filters of these equipments. Most of the time they cause respiratory allergies and I found this scalp boils more after working for hours.
3. I suggest people to clean air filters in the airconditioners every month.
4. I used Beta dyne dabbing using cotton balls work. 20 mins before a bath.
