Hi,
Boils are common in the perineal area. This is most of the times because of sweating or poor hygiene specially using razors. Reason for recurrence is generally not eliminatin the focus.
I would suggest you should use antibiotics for 2 weeks to eliminate the focus. Besides this take good care of hygiene, daily wash with soap or Pyodine water may also help. You can use dettol water or soap for cleaning.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
