Reoccurring boil last/cysts

I've been having reoccurring boils on my face & shoulders for about 6 years now. Sometimes I'll have one a month, sometimes 2 or sometimes I might have a 2 month gap.
They're mainly on my chin but I've had them on my nose, temples, head & shoulders.
They can be about the size of a 50p piece & swell really large, come to a head sometimes. They're very painful & when I have one I try to avoid going out as they can't be hidden.
The doctors have given me anti biotics & zinyerit but nothing works. It's really getting me down & im finding it difficult to be happy anymore.
