Recurring boils

2018-09-12 08:55:35
I have recurring boils under my armpit and on my buttocks. Over the past 3 years I have had more than 15 boils. They are big and painful. I have had 3 incisions and draining. I use Shea butter as my daily moisturizer. I have stopped using deodorants for about 6 months now and use lime as deodorant.
