Infection: It sounds like this is recurrent minor infections that probably can be treated with help from your physician. I would recommend you see a doctor about this problem.

Boils: Are infections in the skin and are caused by bacteria. See your doctor for an evaluation to treat and rule out other underlying conditions such as diabetes.

See a dermatologist: It may be more complex than indentification of bacteria. You may have hidradenitis suppuritiva or other underlying condition. Are you very heavy? Soiling urine or stool? Tight clothing? Prolonged sitting? Sweating?
