Butt Boils: Are you a woman or a man? If you are a woman, do they appear before your period? Do you eat a lot of sweets? Do you eat nuts or peanut butter in excess. Do you, or anyone in your family, have diabetes. Do you take any medications? Need to know all the answers before i could even think about what's causing these.
