Hi, I've never had what you are describing, however like a lot of people
I've had boils on the legs and buttock area and usually when its hot and
humid environment or when I where something that irritates the skin to
cause the infectious boil. Usually a regimant of cleaning with warm
water and soap and triple anti-biotic ointment gets rid of these. As
far as acne goes I get it much less now since on Met.
