Welcome to health care magic.

1.The history suggest the most possible cause is hair follicle infection / inflammation.
2.In this case what you should not do is - scratching / itching / compressing the boils. In that way the healing time increases and complicates.
3.I would recommend to clean the area with antiseptic liquid twice daily after a bath.
4.In case of boils of bigger size - a small incision and drainage will be needed.
5.And you will need a course of antibiotics to heal the infection in a better way.

Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
