It's great that you're maintaining good hygiene and using Betadine, as it helps prevent infection. However, recurring boils may indicate an underlying issue like a weakened immune system or diabetes. You should consult a doctor for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, warm compresses can help drain the core, and a doctor may prescribe antibiotics or topical treatments to prevent recurrence.
