Q: i have recurring boils on buttocks. i try to cover them with bandages, and sometimes i notice blood on the bandages when i change them. is bleeding a normal symptom of boils or could they be something else?

: Yes, bleeding is common in the process of healing specifically on areas of high pressure/friction. Best would be to have your doc examine and find ways to prevent them from forming.
