Yes that could be one reason. Apart from that a weakened immune system due to any cause and permanent colonisation of skin by harmful bacteria can also cause this. You may book an appointment for further consultation.
Please get an HbA1c test. Use antibacterial soap. You may need a course of antibiotics if they’re recurrent. If you’re overweight, try to lose weight and avoid high sugar foods. This may be simple boils or secondary to an underlying condition that makes you more prone to boils like insulin resistance, hidradenitis suppurativa.
