Recurring boils? on stomach. leave nasty scars. spontaneous but painful. what could these be?

Various causes: Boils or abscesses are caused by a skin bacteria (typically Staph aureus). Your skin can be colonized with this bacteria and the inflammation and boil formation can be triggered by local irritation, diet, stress, heat, exercise, medical conditions like diabetes, among others. There are other skin conditions that can look like boils, and I would recommend having this evaluated by a dermatologist.
