I'm really worried about this boil that's been causing me pain for the last two days. I saw a nephrologist, and they prescribed some medication for a 5-day course. Is this the right kind of treatment? Should I be doing anything else to help it heal faster?

I've been struggling with these rashes that keep coming back even though I'm following my dermatologist's treatment. The meds worked at first but now I'm still getting rashes during the course and once it's done, it's back again. I've taken so many medicines over the last few months, and I'm worried if I'm missing something. How can I clear these allergies completely from my body?
