[|Human|] My 1 year old son has a boil in the crase of his thigh. My husband gets boils fairly regularly, but my daughter who is 6 has never gotten one. Is it normal for my son to get them as well? Why would he get them and not my daughter? What can I do for him when he does get them? Any way I can prevent them?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Boils are commonly due to staphylococcal aureus infection. Maintenance of personal hygiene prevents them. Antibitic like Tampico 3 times daily will cure boils. If the boils rupture you may apply some antiseptic cream like uracil. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
