I've got some really bad boils and I'm not sure what to do. Should I see a surgeon or maybe a dermatologist? I'm kind of worried and just want to make sure I go to the right specialist. Any advice?

You should consult with a dermatologist for the treatment of severe boils. They specialize in skin conditions and can provide you with the appropriate care. In the meantime, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and apply it to the affected area twice a day to help with healing.
