Your doctor can help: Frequent infections (boils) can be due to diabetes(high blood sugar) or due to poor heigene especially if you are over weight. Bathing and liberal use of soap twice daily(morning/evening) would help. Also get your blood sugar checked. On rare cases, there is immune deficiency which can be checked for by an internist, so go see one.
