What can I do about frequent boils and ringworm?
Asked by Male, 25 · 2 months ago
Frequent boils and ringworm may be due to skin infections or a weakened immune system. Keep your skin clean and dry, avoid sharing towels or clothes, and wear loose clothing. Boils may need warm compresses and sometimes antibiotics, while ringworm requires antifungal treatment. See a doctor to check for underlying causes and get proper treatment.
