Hi Mr.Swamy;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The boils what you said heat boils are actually a sort of bacterial infection which requires treatment with antibiotics.Recurrence occurs if some bacterial focus is left over in our body where antibiotic penetration has not been;or the antibiotic selected is a bacterio static rather than bactericidal (meaning it stops infection but does not kill the bacteria).One thing you can do is if you get a boil again then you better get a culture & sensitivity of the pus or a Blood culture to find the type of bacteria & it will guide with the antibiotic which is sensitive against the bacteria & will kill it.Then your infection will go away and you will get cured.Consult your doctor for the same.
Take care.
Thanks
