Recurrent Infections
A boil that has been lanced or drained naturally should heal over time. In some cases, however, a boil may keep reappearing. A person may get boils regularly across their body, or the same spot on their skin may become reinfected over and over.2‘Boils.’ Nhs.uk, 17 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/boils/
This is more than just an annoyance. Recurring boils may be a symptom of a skin condition or a serious underlying infection. A person who continues to develop boils, even small ones, should discuss this with their doctor.1‘Boils and Carbuncles - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 11 Sept. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/boils-and-carbuncles/symptoms-causes/syc-20353770
