Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You might be suffering from Chronic folliculitis. For boils, you should take oral antibiotic therapy according to pus culture and antibiotic sensitivity report.
For scars, you can use silicone gel or dimethicone gel. Keep in mind that you should not apply silicone gel or dimethicone gel on boils.
Do consult your physician in case of any rapid changes in the skin lesions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
