Dear sir
It appears from the symptoms that you are sufferring from uncontrolled diabetes with hypertriglyceredemia. If you dont control it, it will cause repeated boils in the skin foldings and around the root of hair follicle.
The bestt ways to prevent is to
1. Control blood sugars at normal range
2. Blood pressure control
3. Control hypertryglyceredemia
4. Weight control
5. Regular exercise and reduce insulin resistance
Taking proper antibiotics at appropriate time
Thanks
