Recurrent infection: If smaller than the size of a quarter most boils will resolve on their own. You can use a warm compress to help release any pus from the area. You may have recurrent infections due to a Staph bacteria. An easy way to help decolonize the skin is to soak in a bath for 20 min. with about 1/3 cup bleach added. Another option is to use a soap called Hibiclens (OTC) once a day for 5 days.

Here are some ...: Without a detailed Hx and a direct look, it's hard to come up an accurate Dx. But, clinically, you might have experienced the recurrent skin infection from sebaceous glands of hair follicles. If yes, this condition may recur, but can be minimized by good hygiene and avoiding shaving, especially compulsive rough shaving. More? Ask Doc face to face timely.
