*Bathe or shower at least once a day to keep your body clean.

*Avoid scratching an itch, as infection may set in if the skin breaks.

*Apply antiseptic lotion (e.g., cetrimide or acriflavine) on broken skin to prevent infection.

*Wash your hands or any other part of the body with soap and water if it comes into contact with an oozing boil.
