Boils are a balant sign the immune system is struggling and given over 80% of the immune system pivots on the bacterial populations in the git - no wonder AB arent helping - they often worsen the situation.
Yes, see a good naturoapth and you'll get it sorted.
Vit C, zinc, bioflavonoids, betacarotene, and probiotics are all a great start.
