Recurrent Boils On Body. Taken Ciplax Without Relief. Sweating A Lot

Hi, I got recurrent boils on my body for 2 months. I got a doctor from India who sent me some antibiotics. I have had Ciplax 500 mg for 7 days and that healed my boils but after two days I started getting boils again. I get them on my butt, thighs, pubic area, inner thighs, arms, armbits, under breasts- basically private areas that don't get much air. These days my work involves a lot of cycling and I sweat a lot and can't take a shower before I get home from an 8 hrs shift. Other than that I am hygienic and always used Dettol soap to bathe with. I wash my hands and use spirit to kill the bacterias.
