A member asked:

I have a boil on my testicles and its the second time, in all my life i think i have had a total of 4-5 boils times?

Few possibilities: Some people just get them. Make sure you are checked for diabetes. Also, common bug that causes this (staph aureus) lives in the naso-pharynx. Receiving oral sex can increase risk on locations as you describe so shower often is that's the case.
