Hi,

You might be suffering from recurrent FURUNCULOSIS. In classic case oral antibiotics like Amoxicillin is used while in recurrent cases oral Rifampicin and oral Clindamycin is used. Nevertheless you can use MUPIROCIN OINTMENT in both the cases.

Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,
