Hi thanks for asking question.
Here it seems to be bacterial infection mostly whenever you get affected like from that of staph.aureus.
When this boil or furuncle like lesion appear you can apply local antibiotic cream over it.
Oral antibiotic like amoxiclav can be useful if severe case with fever.
After healing of that lesion take care not for recurrence.
Check your sugar level, because diabetes can lead to recurrent bacterial infection.
Drink more water.Avoid excess fatty and oily food.
Green leafy vegetables and fruits are helpful.
If still no improvement then we will think further.
I hope you will understand my concern.thanks
