Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Possibly it may be due to folliculitis or furunculosis. Have you ruled out Diabetes Mallitus and HIV? If you are on any immuno-suppressive drugs like steroids also, you may likely to have such recurrences. If you go for culture and sensitive test and choose appropriate antibiotics and have the same for adequate duration will help you. Your dermatologist will help you in this regards.
Wish you a speedy recovery
