Question

I'm a software engineer and I spend most of my day sitting. I've noticed I get these boils with white tops on my buttocks and sometimes they pop and hurt a lot. Is there any medicine I can use to treat this?

I usually get some relief, but then it just comes back. It's so frustrating and I'm desperate for some help. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.
