What can be causing frequent boils to occur?

Depends: First thing to exclude would be diabetes. Get checked for that. If you are not diabetic, immune deficiency would need to be considered and investigated. You need to see a doctor for proper evaluation. In the mean time try to keep your skin clean, meticulously.
