Hi You seem to be having recurring furunculosis. This is due to a bacteria called staphylococcus. Once you have a infection it does take some time to resolve. You may need an antibiotic soap and cream in addition to antibiotics tablets. You may also need suppressive doses of antibiotics for a prolonged period of time. Please meet a dermatologist so they can advise you on the best treatment plan
