Go to a Skin: Specialist called a Dermatologist. The recurrent boils may not just be simple boils. Differential dx include folliculitis, Hidradentitis, Sporotrichosis, Leishmaniasis, Tuleremia, Myiasis, Botryomycosis, Nontuberculous mycobacteria, blastomycosis etc. Check your immune system. Good luck!
