The regular use of antibacterial soaps and shampoos can help prevent bacteria from building up on the skin and scalp. This can reduce the chance for the hair follicles to become infected and prevent the formation of boils. In some situations, your healthcare practitioner may recommend special cleansers such as pHisoderm to even further reduce the bacteria on the skin. When the hair follicles on the back of the arms or around the thighs are continually inflamed, regular use of an abrasive brush (loufa brush) in the shower can be used break up oil plugs and build up around hair follicles.

See your dermatologist. He will prescribe antibiotics. He will probably also suggest for you to use Phisohex to wash with and bacitracin or another antibiotic cream to put inside both nostrils.
