I had a series of boils on my buttocks and legs, they have left horrible scars on me. what could i do to reduce appearance of them?

No magic answer: There are some creams and compounding medications that can decrease scarring over time. Plastic surgery is an option if the scarring is really upsetting to you and it is bothering you so much, but surgery is considered cosmetic in this case and often not covered by conventional medical insurance, thus making it costly. Best wishes.
