My belief is that they are more related to IR than actual weight. I
only say this because after seriously watching my carbs and the WAY I
ate (which seems to aid in Insulin activity) my boils (which I also get
only in inner thigh area) came to a hault. But, then again..I'm not a
doctor and I really don't know..but, would be very curious as to what
the real cause is. This is only what worked for me. And, let me say,
it was pure joy having no boils!!!
