I have suffered from recurring boils even was admitted to the hospital for  4 days with a staph infection.  Dr. told me to use antibacterial soap and take a round of antibiotics.  Neither of these treatments worked.  Here is the real cure, Cured my recurring condition in less than 1 week.  
1.  Go on a juice fast for 3 days.  Juice fast consists of fresh made juice made with a juicer, blended raw vegetable soup (receipe below) lots of water and hot green tea with organic tumeric.  While you are on the juice fast try to also eliminate skin lotions and other unnecessary products that are absorbed by the skin.  The juice fast and tumeric will detox your blood and body.  Drink as much juice, soup and water as you want during the fast, Surprisingly I was never hungry during this phase and you will feel great. Make sure you take the green tea and tumeric (about 1/2 t. to 1 t.) three times a day.  Continue with tumeric after the 3 day fast, I add if to my morning coffee and have the tea in the afternoon.

Here is one of the soup recipes I really like:
Add all of these ingredients in a blender in this order (I have the VitaMix blender which is a high powered blender) 1 carrot, 1/2 celery stalk, 1 sm. potatoe (cooked), 1 mushroom, 1 green onion, 1/4 glove garlic, 1 inch zuccini squash, 1/4 c.fresh cabbage, 1 sm. slice red pepper, 6 shakes salt, 6 shakes pepper, 1 boullion cube (big cube for 2 c. water) 21/2 cups boiling water.
Blend at highest speed for 2 min.  If your soup gets foam on top you can continue to blend the soup at the lowest setting for a min. or two or you can skim the foam.  
I would use a silver lined thermos and the soup would stay hot for hours so I could have it throughout the day.
Happy Healing, this really worked for me and now I have no more suffering with painful boils.

Hello,
Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus.Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle.

Recurrent boils are found in diabetes, HIV infection, or other immune system disorders.So pls get your blood sugar evaluated. Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics and incision and drainage may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.

I hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
