I have been suffering from this for almost a year. Boils appear on my legs and when they heal, they leave a dark brown scar that does no go away. I have tried two different courses of antibiotics and the boils are still recurring! Is it bacterial or ingrown hair related? I do not know what to do anymore. Please help me! I want the scars to go away and the boils to stop coming!
