Hi Belinda,
My daughter had recurrent boils for approximately 2 years and we tried all
the treatments you have mentioned: salt baths, vitamin supplements and
antibiotics (even though I hate them and believe they are overused) etc ...
etc ...
I spoke with a naturopath and she said it tended to be a depressed immune
system. So I decided to try to improve her diet as my daughter has always
been a fussy eater. I started giving her a punnet of strawberries and a
punnet of cherry tomatoes every week and she hasnt had a boil since!! It
would seem that the extra vitamin C has boosted her immune system
sufficiently.
So ... its worth a try and tastes alot better than antibiotics without the
side-effects!!
All the best,
Leanne.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on treating boils. Started about
18/40 (second pregnancy..none with first). Glucose at 28/40 fine. Drs
said
it was due to pregnancy. Had several courses of oral ab's, two treatments
of bactroban nasally. (partner and 2yo daughter also treated with nasal ab
at this time). Bath in detol/phisohex. Baby now 11 weeks, breastfeeding,
and I currently have four boils. All have been on the right hand side of
body. Take pregnancy and breastfeeding vitamin daily. (have had 15-20 in
past 6 months.and don't want yet another dose of ab's) Any suggestions on
experience/treatment greatly appreciated. Thanks Belinda
