Recurring heat boils

Question

Asked for Female, 33 Years

My husband, our 5 yr old daughter and myself have been getting heat boils past couple of months. We have moved from india to usa 6 months back. We do not have any history of any skin disease. Nor are we suffering from any other health conditions. These boils are really painfull and take more than 2 weeks yo heal completely. They are filled with pus and it oozes out when the boil ruptures on its own. Please suggest the cause and treatment for it

If you are unable to meet at the dermatologist there for proper assessment; kindly get an online consult done through practo by sending the images of the involved areas. Without examining the lesions it is difficult to give definitive treatment.
