I have a boil that keeps returning.?

I have a boil that keeps returning on my inner thigh. It does not look like it needs medical care but I am troubled that it has returned for the third time. It has drained each time and just keeps on coming back. I don't have Diabetes or High Blood Pressure so I don't know why it just won't heal. I am not on any kind of meds.Should I worry about staph infections. I have a cousin that just died from staph infection and I am getting a little worried.

Answer:
You need to consult your doctor because it should not keep coming back and you could well need antibiotics after it has drained. Submerging in a hot bath and finding the head of the boil and using a sterilized needle to puncture it and drain the boil is best but then you need a course of antibiotics. It's not something you want to mess with. If you can't do it yourself get the doc to handle.
check with a Dr and when you have it then it will be easy for the Doc to swab it and check what really is.
Your dr has some pills that will cause that little pest to disappear. I was amazed at how quickly the meds worked.
Since it's reoccurring. it's too deep to heal properly. See a doctor. It needs to be attended to (drained) and then you'll probably require antibiotics.
It sounds like a cyst. These are fine but if bothersome or infected needs to be removed. I had one at the end of my spine. I waited too long and it got very bad. If it is on your thigh the removal will be very easy.
