<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. This is a condition called HY Chat Doctor.  This is the reason the boils develop and before the first ones are healed the another crop up. I advise all my patients:Clean with water 2 to 3 times in a day. Apply liquid provide iodine thrice daily. This will kill all the skin bacteria and may avoid further infection. A course of antibiotic to start with and continue with doxycycline daily. Wait and watch for 3 weeks. Y this time most of the disease is under control. In case of failures a small surgery may be needed to remove the disease bearing skin. This is a staged surgery and needs a little seating.
