I normally get boils all over my body. recently i got one in between my buttocks. it will not stop bleeding. should i be concerned?

See a dermatologist: It is not "normal" to get boils all over. What do you do about it??? You need an exam. Pilonidal sinus? Hidradenitis suppuritiva? Staph furunculosis? Folliculitis? Other condition? You need an exam and evaluation by a skin specialist.
