Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
You have second time boil below arm pits .
If boil big enough it should be drained properly...
Take antibiotic along with for it....
Daily dressing applied....
Or apply betardin ointment over it....
Healthy diet taken...
Recurrent boil yes can be from water change, swimming pool water or by tight clothing....
Avoid moisture ...Keep skin dry and cleaned....
Check for diabetis as it can be causative factor....
Take care.
