Hi I am dr Kadhir, Recurrent folliculitis in a 2 lyrics old kid is common but not the same for recurrent abscess. It can follow folliculitis and could be recurrent because of inadequate or inappropriate treatment. still some rare conditions like primary immune deficiency should be ruled out. Most of the labs offer a panel to rule out primary immune deficiency. Its important to rule out more common entities like IgA deficiency, brutons agama globulinemia and granunomatous disorders where recurrent staphylococcus infection is common . These conditionscan be effectively treated when diagnosed earlier. Early diagnosis also helps in preventing serious infections Thank you for using healthcare magic
