I keep getting these boils on my body parts like inner tighs , around the buttocks , hands , sides between the chest and waist region , lower tummy area above the groin .

These start of as small as acne and at times some of them get severe enough to grow upto size of a half hemisphere of a table tennis ball. They are hard and red and at times painful.

I had been initially told this was maybe due to hair plucking or heat boils and have been asked to use fucibet ointment when I have them early on .

They are hard and red and then on applying fucibet for about 2-3 days they soften and get a head and eventually burst.

They however leave a scar which isn't a good sight and has made me conscious to be shirtless or use swimming pool without clothes or even get intimate. They keep reoccurring. My doctor has not recommended me anything permanent or told me exactly what these are or what causes them.

I recently got one in my underarms and this is how it looked . It took about 4 days of applying fucibet and some warm compress for it to subside and burst but I still feel the hard lump and it seems it's not completely healed yet

Can someone tell what these are and what is long terms and best treatment and care to avoid or reduce these reoccurences ?
