One reason could be you are having MRSA colonisation over your body surfaces and this being a resistant bug causing recurrent infection. Another could be hairy skin which again predispose to such infections. Sedentary lifestyle also add into it. You don’t have fistula that’s a good thing.
Next Steps
Show to general surgeon. Get cbc once to rule out your immune system is fine. Though cbc is not the best test to check anyone’s immunity but I think you can begin with that.
Health Tips
Regular cleaning with soap water and you need to get rid of MRSA infection from your body.
