I’ve had a boil for about three months, last month the doctor opened it and drained, after a month it returned. Any suggestions?

You will have to go back to your doctor. It isn't enough to just drain a boil, you have to remove the sac surrounding it. "sac" being a fatty casing around the boil or the 'core'. Sometimes the body absorbs this, but it can also cause the boil to come back, especially if your doctor did not use antibiotic to kill bacteria on the boil site. (see dr pimple popper)
