Hi, Imto , If this boil has persisted for this long time ( 2 years ) , it is extremely necessary that you consult a doctor immediately .
You could have a Disorder that makes you more susceptible to have a long term or persistent infection like an Immune Deficiency Disorder ( in this condition the Immune System that defends and combats infections is not working properly ) or Diabetes ( an hormonal disorder in which there is an Insulin Hormone Deficiency or an Insulin Hormone Resistance) .
Your doctor will need to rule out these possibilities to give you the appropriate treatment .
Your doctor will also prescribe the adequate antibiotics to combat and cure this infection.
You will need taking oral antibiotics ( by mouth ) .
In the meantime , apply warm water pads over the area affected to relieve your symptoms .
If you like the answer, please click accept . A bonus will always be sincerely appreciated .
