Recurrent abscess may be because of sebaceous cyst. But in any case, if there is pus, it needs drainage and antibiotics.
Next Steps
Kindly consult online with pics. Not to be avoided if there is pus.

It is sebaceous cyst which is getting  again and again infected. When you have pain in the lesion that means that it is inflamed. Otherwise it would be a asymptomatic nodule which you can feel and in the centre of it there would be a white circle.
Next Steps
when inflamed we avoid any surgical procedure. but ultimately the permanent cure would be surgical. We both are Dermatologist, in order to help you , kindly come online consultation for detailed history and video interaction.
