Boil with puss keeps coming back

2020-05-08 12:00:03
Dear Dr., My husband gets puss filled boil 5" down the navel. Before it fully cures and sits, it reoccurs at the same place. It has reoccured around 5 times in 2 months. Since 1 year his navel bleeds all of a sudden, and the bleeding lasts for 2 to 5 days then disappears and reoccurs suddenly after a gap. A physician prescribed him neosporin which he uses but we are concerned why does this reoccur? Please find pictures attached for your reference. Looking forward to consulting you further. Thanks.
