Hi!
I have a few questions and a couple of comments regarding this.

First of all..I don't believe that it is a common thing for women. I'd get a second opinion on that conclusion.

Secondly, perhaps there is an enviromental cause for these boils.

Do you ever wear tight clothing...and are you using a hypoallergenic detergent for your clothing? I like to use the clear detergent...free of perfumes and other chemicals.

Do you put anything topically on the boils?

Seems like there should be something out there that can help you.

I remember years ago...2 of my brothers came down with boils. The dr. told my mother that they were caused by something in their environment. He recommeded that we bathe them in hot bath water with a small amount of bleach added. It sounds weird...but.. the boils went away and never came back.

I am not recommending this treatment for you, rather, it's meant only to illustrate that there is a solution somewhere for this.

Have you been to a dermatologist? If so...what did he recommend? What poignant questions were asked?

In any case...I hope you can eventually find some more answers to this.

Best wishes,
