Can my boils scars under the arms be removed? (Photo)

T35
I started getting boils all the time mostly under my armpits. I hit my highest weight of 293lbs! Boils seemed to come back to back, mostly no relief, it was a nightmare! I started my weight loss journey and dropped 60lbs only then did I stop getting boils. But the damage had been done. My armpits look awful, and I'm very self conscious about lifting my arms or wearing short sleeves. The boils left horrible scars. Can plastic surgery help somewhat make my armpits look nice again.
