Repeated Abscess

Dear Doctors, I was diagnosed for Abscess on my Buttock region a month ago and was prescribed with antibiotics. After a week time similar formation was seen on my left thumb. Again now I am under similar medication. Could you please explain why this is happening again and again. How to prevent it in future as well as precautions for not getting spread to others.
