Q: 

do boils or Furuncled leave a dark area after being healed

I keep getting what appears to be a boil, either on my inner thighs, under my arm, on my waist or stomach. They start out as a red and tender oval, roundish area and hurt to the touch or if I move the wrong way, they get bigger and the skin starts to look glossy. eventually something yellow and clear liquid and then blood will come out. I keep a bandaid on it to help with the pain of clothing touching it and then it leaves a purplish/redish spot behind that eventually fades somewhat. Does this sound like boil to you? There is no hair where they pop up and in the last year or so it has only been on my underarm and waist/stomach area, not my thighs anymore Thanks for your insight
