I've been having this really annoying itching on my upper thighs and buttocks for the past four months. It gets so bad every day that it's causing rashes, and there seems to be a different layer forming on my skin. What could be causing this, and what can I do to treat it? I'm really looking for some advice to relieve this discomfort.

Question

I've been dealing with these recurring boils at the back of my neck right where my hairline is for over 34 years now. They're really painful, and I'm wondering if there's anything more I can do about it. I keep good hygiene and wash my hair every other day with a mild shampoo. Health-wise, I feel fine otherwise. Any advice on what might be causing this or what else I could try?
