Greetings. You may be suffering from recurrent furunculosis. This is a bacterial infection. You'll need to see a qualified dermatologist. Get Pus culture testing from the boil and use antibiotics according to the report of the same. Decolonisation regime also helps. You can contact me on Practo direct or follow up consultation or direct consultation for further queries. Warm regards
