Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If recurrent boils are coming,do a culture and sensitivity of the pus from the boils and the appropriate antibiotic suggested by the sensitivity report may be used in consultation with your doctor.
Antihistamine like cetzine may be used to relieve itching.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
