Sounds like Hidradenitis Supportiva..
With HS, what works for one person may not work for everyone else.
Best suggestions right now is, Use only Lever 2000 soap (original, not the aloe), don't wear any dark clothing (nothing darker then blue jeans), Stay out of the heat and use Tea tree Oil on the abscesses to draw them out. If you don't have TTO, Vicks Vapor Rub works in a pinch.
Feel free to e-mail if you need any further information. The suggestions work even if it's not HS causing this for you. Best of luck.

Boils are caused by bacteria. My Grandmother used to put adhesive tape around the boil, to protect the skin, then she would place a boiling hot shot glass, upside down over the boil. As the glass cooled, it would draw up the head, so the boil could be punctured or lanced and then drained. Once this was done, she washed the area with antibacterial soap and bandaged the area.
It worked every time!
