Hello,
I went through your concern and I understand that you have recurrent abscess which is due to either immunosuppression or carrier state of bacteria staphylococcus. Since you have already ruled out diabetes, I think it is carrier state. I'd suggest 10 day course of rifampicin 600 mg and nasal application of mupirocin nasal ointment for 10days should remove the carrier state and prevent the recurrence.
