What Causes A Recurrent Abscess In Groin Area?

About once a year I get a reocurring abscess on the right/lower side of my groin. It always appears on what I think is a stretch mark type scar. Once drained, it disappears in about a week. What is a possible cause? 2006 (I was 23 yrs old) was the first time it appeared.
