May need oral meds: Boils under the arms can be inflammatory or infection. Hidradenitis suppurativa is one cause (more common in women), & May require oral antibiotics &/or surgical incision to drain. Warm compresses multiple times a day help greatly, not shaving too closely, keeping armpits dry, & antibacterial soap may help. It sounds like this is a recurrent problem so Dr exam is a good idea.
