Having follical induced boil in armpit

The problem is recurring for past 3-4 years. The boil subsides after taking antibiotics but not completely. Reoccur every year in begining of winters. I am afraid of possible antibiotics resistance as well as efficacy of medicines to heal it.

It may be due to a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa. It can be treated and kept under control. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
