Hi!! According to your history you are having folliculitis which is inflammation of the hair follicle.You will have to take a course of oral antibiotic like amoxycillin clavulanic acid combination for 5 days along with topical antibiotic like mupirocin on the boil twice. Also go for hot fermentation. This will surely help you.
