How do I get rid of boils?

I have suffered from boils since I was a young teenager. I am now 39 and they have always been painful. I have been on all types of steroids and antibiotics for them. I have had some surgically removed only to have another one pop up right beside the scar. I shower 3 times a day. I use ivory so there is no perfumes or dies. I try to eat healthy. I used the boil ease. I used hot water, ice, and scrubbed them with alcohol, iodine, bleach, and vinegar. I am not sure how they started but I do know they are driving me nuts. Any ideas?
