Greetings.You seem to have recurrent furunculosis from the description given. Multiple relapses point towards systemic causes or MRSA infection. Check yourself for issues like thyroid dysfunction, diabetes. Sometimes other skin condition may mimic the presentation and can be best discussed with a dermatologist in person. Hope it helps
