How To Treat Recurring Boils In Armpits And Buttocks?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle. I recommend using an antibacterial soap for cleaning the skin. I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
