I had a boil under the left arm i did a surgery on oct last year and the doc remove my sweat gland but present the boil appears again?

Boils: Apparently staphylococcus bacteria are colonizing your armpit making you susceptible to recurrent boils. Sometimes a course of a potent antistaphyloccus antibiotic for 10 to 14 days is needed to eradicate these bacteria colonizing your skin. Discuss this with your physician if further boils occur.
