Hi, I'm 26 Years Old And Have Been Smoking Pot

Hi, I'm 26 years old and have been smoking pot since age 15. Didn't seem to be an issue with my skin until about 4 years ago when I started to notice these huge painful boils in my armpits. The last year has been a nightmare, they now show up on my face, back and armpits several times a month and every month so far. I've been in the hospital multitask times for treatment. It's not staph or merca. I've recently quit smoking and I've noticed I haven't had a boil anywhere on my body since I've quit. My question to you is.. Is there any connection to marijuana use and abscess skin infections that you've seen or heard of? If so I'm never smoking again. I've had no relief from these things in years until just recently and I'm beginning to wonder if I was having some kind of allergic reaction to marijuana that I want aware was even possible.
