Hi, welcome to HCM.
You are having recurrent abscess over that part & it need a proper antibiotic therapy for an adequate duration. The best thing will be consult your doctor & get a culture sensitivity done from the pus of burst abscess. Personal hygine plays a major role in preventing recurrence. So be careful about it. No need to worry about the problem if you get treated.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if needed.
Good luck.
