Boil: I am uncertain if there is a correlation between the birth of your child and the onset of these boils. They are referred to as abscesses, in the medical community. If you are having frequent abscesses, it may be prudent to follow up with a medical provider who can obtain a culture of the contents of the abscess. The culture would help identify if there is a particular bacteria that is the cause.
