Skin lesions: Without being able to examine you and see these lesions there is no way in which to diagnose them and to project some form of therapy. See a dermatologist and have them assess these. Sounds like you may be having MRSA boils which might require a different antibiotic than what you were receiving, and the recurrences suggest a need for decolonization. Good luck.

See dermatologist: I think it is time for you to consult a dermatologist who may do a biopsy of the lesion to look at the potential causes for your skin problem. Some times this may be from a drug you have been taking.
