Boils All Over The Body After Delivery

Doctor , my wife delivered a baby girl in Nov 2010 by C-section. After a month or so of delivery she started having boils over her body. The problem still persists as every week she develops a boil or two which is painful and irritating. She had been on Iron ad Calcium medication postpartum. Any specific reasons for the boils? What could be the remedy?
