On Recurrent Boils.Hi Dr. Irwin I really really need advice here! My name is Dairek I am 27 years old and have had problems with these abscess or boils for almost 2 years now! I have been to the doctor countless times and they all say the same thing. These boils are common and will go away with some anti-botics. They prescribe me with antibiotics or a shot of rosephron or something like that and send me out without any explanation why they will not stop reoccurring. I have had a total of 10 at least that I can think of. I read your article about the girl with the gym bag but please is there any other advice you can give me. Please Ive gone to countless doctors with no explanation to anything. Thank you very much in advance. Dairek

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
