I'm dealing with this painful boil, a baltod, on my left leg just below the knee. It's really hurting and I can't even walk properly or keep my leg straight. Could you please tell me what I can do about it?

View allI've been dealing with these recurring pus-filled boils on my thighs and upper leg area. There's always this redness and swelling around them, and they keep coming back. It's getting really frustrating and I just want to know what's causing them and how I can prevent them. Any advice?
Recurring pus filled boils on the thighs and upper leg area with redness and swelling indicate a skin infection. This may be due to a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. To treat this condition, you can use an antibiotic ointment containing Mupirocin applied to the affected area three times a day. In addition, an oral antibiotic like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days can also be prescribed to help clear the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further irritation.

I'm really worried because for the past three months, I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss, with hair even coming out from the root. I decided to switch to using castor oil, almond oil, and Dove shampoo to see if it helps. Do you think this is a good approach or is there something else I should be considering?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
