Pocos, I don't know about, but PCOS maybe! :) I know that lots of women on this board have the same problem. (In fact a search under "boils" or "cysts" if you weed out the ovarian cyst posts will turn up a LOT of posts!) Some women / some websites report them being common in auto-immune disorders. There is a *possibility* that PCOS could be auto-immune. The also seem to be more common in overweight women than those of average or low weight. Not much to be done about them except warm compresses. They are, possibly, one of the WORST symptoms, I think!
