What Is The Treatment For Recurrence Of Abscess Under The Armpits?

I am suffering from repeated absses in both my under arms since last 15 years. It pains and swells when pus forms and oozes out. After much treatment atlast doctor told it is TB and started treating me with Efficin injection and Rifa I-6. But there is no improvement. Doctor suggested to go for surgery now. What should I do? Plz help.
