It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider if you're still experiencing recurrent boils after completing a course of antibiotics like lymecycline. Here are some steps and considerations based on my knowledge base:

- Seek Medical Attention: Consult your dermatologist or healthcare provider to discuss your ongoing symptoms and explore other treatment options.
- Home Remedies: Warm compresses can promote drainage and alleviate pain.
- Hygiene Practices: Keeping the groin area clean and dry, using antibacterial soap, and avoiding shaving can help manage symptoms.
- Potential Treatments: Your doctor might suggest other treatments such as corticosteroids, hormonal treatments, or biologics.
- Community Support: Engaging with support networks like myHSteam can provide additional advice and shared experiences from others with HS.

If you have any systemic symptoms like fever, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention.
